Should be in the shop...
Hey,
Today I was at my saturday job, and the bloke I work for offered me his old drill. He said the batteries didn't hold their charge or the charger was .
He wasn't going to spend £80 on 2 new batteries or £50 on a new charger (fair enough) or spend time troubleshooting as his time is worth more than mine, so he bought himself a new dewalt drill with one Li-ion battery for £90.
So Now I have this erbauer drill which retails for around £80. I have used it a couple of times when working for him and its quite a sturdy drill, and has a full metal chuck.
Anyway, enough of that.
The charger, when plugged into a wall, comes up with the fully charged light straight away. I don't know if it is meant to do this, but it doesn't make any odds if a battery is inserted or not.
A new charger on ebay is probably around £15. Worth spending if that is the issue. But is there any way to test the charger?
If both of the batteries have lost their charge then I will replace the cells. It would cost between £15 and 25 per battery, depending on the capacity. I can upgrade them to 3.4ah instead of the stock 1.7ah
Any idea how to test the charger before I start faffing with the batteries.
Cheers
Rob
