New Battery operated Auger

[RickOnt]

My battery in a 12 year old ION has given up.

I really like the ION and it has been solid with no issues,

Hence I am leaning to a new ION

However what are you guys using or reccomend?

Could the ION auger bit be used on a drill?

By the time I buy a drill and auger bit I am at price of the ION

Can you not get replacement batteries?

I'm sure there are battery shops out there that can refurbish the old one with new batteries.

I have a line on another battery   Plan is to pick it up today.

So we  will see

I hope you get some ice.
 I don’t know if I’ll make it out this year.  I haven’t been out ice fishing for over ten years.

Thanks for the help

Better to replace the battery if everything else is OK, I'm doing that today with this phone. Eighty dollars as opposed to six or seven hundred

Still on my iPhone 8 with its original battery, but an upgrade is in order as the charge port is completely worn out and you practically have to tape the charger in place… pain in the rump.

Thanks! For some reason the video is in Hindi…so I’ll just have to take lessons in that and then try.

I went back in history and found it, it's in English for me.
