Great info, thanks for sharing. I kept one of my old NiCd batteries from my last set of “bad” batteries, so I’m gonna give this a go tonight. |

Thanks, I have 4 Ryobis, 2 that are completely dead and 2 that are on their way out. I’m saving all the information I can on this topic so that I can try it out eventually. -- Tristin King -- When in doubt, sand it. |

Oh sure. NOW I find this! I am an admitted packrat. I have things and “STUFF” stored that I’ve been carrying around for YEARS! And it never fails, ,, every time I throw something away, within a couple days I realize I coulda used it on something else. Sure enough, you KNOW where I’m going with this. Yep, that’s right… I got rid of 4 old NiCads about two weeks ago when I was re-arranging the clutter in my shop. (I dropped ‘em at the recycling center) ARRRRGGGHHHHHHH ! -- Perform A Random Act Of Kindness Today ... Pay It Forward |

thankfully, ridgid’s LSA provides new batteries for free when the old ones wear out. i’m glad i’ll never have to resort to something like this. -- there's a solution to every problem.......you just have to be willing to find it. |

I’ve had battery packs rebuilt by MTO in York Pa…I couldn’t find any replacement batteries for an old 13.2v Bosch Drill – so MTO rebuilt it for me and it’s better than new. -- Mike from Lansdowne, PA |
