Those C3 battery packs drive me nuts. After some very helpful responses here I started rebuilding the battery packs in my touch panels in my house (crestron, near impossible to buy) After doing four of those I started on my C3 19.2V's, they take the same cells, "SUB C's 5000" the original Craftsman are 3800's, so use whatever you like for your workload.

Now the part that drives me nuts. In bulk I can get Tenergy sub-c's with welded tabs for about $1.80 a battery, a 19.2V of course takes 13 of these. So $23 in parts + shipping to rebuild the pack, oh and 1/2 hour of your time. Then Sears sells a new drill, with battery pack and charger for $39 on sale! I may as well just buy the drill, toss it and keep the battery that normally sells for $45!
