I don't think you can use an Li-ion battery in this drill.  It needs Ni-Cads.  If you do an internet search for "dewalt dc970 replacement battery" you will find aftermarket replacement batteries for your drill for $20-$30.  I had the same issue with an older Makita drill (which has more guts than the newer Dewalt drill) and the aftermarket batteries work fine.
