Hello,

I know I could go over to FOG and ask this but i usually check in here every day so i figured someone here would know. Does Festool still make batteries for the CDD 12? It's that funny looking battery that is part of the front of the drill. It's a BPH 12C - 2.0 AH NiCd.

Since i'm asking is there an upgrade for the C12 drill now? Mine came with the 12v 3.0 NiMH batteries and I think they are losing their staying power. They used to be able to hold a charge for weeks sitting around but now it's only a day or two. Not that they have been used a lot, they're just a few years old. Two batteries are about the cost of a new drill now I'll bet. And i'm sure they are out of the 3 year warranty.

thanks
Ben
