Inverter for truck

/ Inverter for truck #61  
Soldered and not removeable? Please.. and the earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth.. :(

rechargeable nicad, nimh an LI batteries are readily available, including sub-class size batteries.

Not removable relating to having a quick disconnect feature like new tools offer by switching battery packs with a push of a button

Soundguy you think then its worth purchasing batteries again on this old tool. I already replaced them once. I have not bothered to even look for any so cant say what they may cost.

Just open it up and replace the sub C cells in the drill.

I often repalce batteries in devices that have those shrink wrapped 'non replaceable' soldered in packs.

Last ones I did used sub-c sized bats. The new bats I purchased had 50% more MAH capacity as the originals, and cost around 1$ per cell, depending. ( actual price range is .59-.99 depending on size, capacity and chemistry. ). You can get them with tack welded tabs for soldering or not. The place I buy from charges a flat 1$ fee to tab them. thus if I buy 6 bats to redo a pack, it costs about 7$ +tax if I do local pickup and about 9$ shipped. ( shipping adds$ but no tax, and then easier to find the .60 cent cells vs .99, so it almost evens out.. on large needs of 7+ batteries, i order, if it is 6 or less I go local ).

The wife uses 2 battery powered 'electric brooms' to neat up the tile floor. We keep one at the long ends of the house, opposite sides.

Battery packs from the maker are 36$ plus shipping, each!.

I made both packs for about 15$.. and they have more capacity...

I split the old shrink wrap and soldered the bats into the same orientation, re applied the factory shrink, and added a couple winds of black tape . good to go.

If your pack has a thermal sensor, you just have to keep that in mind when rebuilding it!

Well I just googled the battery pack at least 6 different places have it for sale and the price ranged from $32-$44 with the average price of about $40 before shipping.

Makita 678103-4 7.2 Battery for 6076DW / 6176DW

But I cant really justify that...a brand new Milwaukee 1.5 ah 12v lion is less money. :confused3:

Just so you know did I have second thoughts though and took it back out of the trash after my original postings so it's back on the shelf right now! :D

It's certainly not difficult to replace it by no means open the case and unsolder and resolder

For $10-$15 sure its worthy.

here is a 6 pack of sub c for $18. Up to you whether this is worth it or not. I agree that often new drill can be purchased for close to what the batteries cost. And offer better performance with Lithium packs. I am all done with NiCad and NiMH packs. I am never rebuilding another one. After owning Lithium packs, I am never going back.

are they sub C? sure looks like 15$ would do ya.

Make sure to match the battery chemestry to the old one ( extra capacity is ok ). Charge characteristics between nicad, nimh, and LI are different.

I never rebuild nicad anymore either.. though I will swap nimh into where nicad was, and then adjust the charger accordingly.. Usually just requires a visit to my 'junk pile' of electronic carcass's to remove what I need and continue. :)

Agreed, I mean I have bought new tools and chargers that use Lithium Ion. 18 volt system. I am faced with a 9.6 volt NiCad drill on its last legs pack. I have rebuilt these packs about 5 times, and The drill is getting old. It has been a good one, and old Ryobi, and it is over 25 years old now. But LI is so much better I am considering letting it just die when this last weak battery finally cashes in.
