Our dewalt cordless drill had a broken battery which needed to be replaced. In order to replace it, we used LiPo batteries with a custom charging curcuit. In addition to this page, the discussions during the replacement can be read on github.
Once done, you can find the repaired drill on the drilling table again!
Battery Circuit
Originally, the battery circuit was using a 20A protection circuit:
This was modified in order to support 30A:
The battery case had to be recreated. This was done using the 3D Printer. The files can be found here.
Charging Station
Since the battery got replaced, we also needed a new charging station:
