Makita Drills

Makita drill runs sluggish?
I have an old Makita cordless drill which has served well for general home usage. It is a model 6010D DC 7.2V 600rpm. Now, it is running so slow with no oomph. I am alone now and just need it for an occasional molley or curtain rod install. Could it be the battery or do I just have to purchase a whole new drill? The drill is probably 20 years old and the original battery has never been replaced but I hate to waste twenty-some dollars if the drill is just pooped. The charger light goes on when I plug the battery in and it does run, just very slow. I am not even sure I can get a battery any more. It says to use only Makita battery 7000.
Also, I am at a loss if I need to purchase a new cordless drill. I just need one for general occasional home usage. Nothing elaborate. If you can advise either way I will be grateful. What size drill and what is a respectable manufacturer or, stick with which size Makita?
Thanks, Donna
yes it is the battery ,i think you can still find those batteries, if you decide to upgrade, Ryobi is pretty inexpensive and good for home owner use.
