[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 219851, member: 5993"] SDMF, Ive built a gadget and tried the “zapping them back to life” on cordless tool and hand held radio batteries. that was a while ago and can’t recall if they were Ni Cads or Nime H batteries. Whatever, it was an interesting project but had no significant success. Chalk it up to an educational waste of time, my project tossed into my electronic junk box. i take them down to Interstate, though other battery companies all do the same, and they replace the battery inside the original case. You can buy the battery and do it yourself if you are so inclined. A 10 minute job, though the companies usually do it for nothing. the only downside to repeated replacement is if you use the batteries and tools as much as I do, eventually the plastic cases start to wear out and eventually they won’t stay in place in the tools. Nothing brings out colorful language like having a battery pack fall out on your toe halfway through a job. Then it’s time to toss them in the recycle bin next time the batteries get weak. ive been tempted to upgrade to the 20 volt Li, but the idea of switching the adapter every time I change batteries is not too appealing, though the LI’s have a lot of other edvantages. lots of good suggestions above.
