Cordless Drill?
Posted by admin
cobblejoe asked:
I have a Bosch 12V cordless drill. The drill came with 2 batteries. Both batteries have not been holding a charge.
I have the choices of buying new batteries @$50-$70 each, Have Batteries Plus rebuild the batteries for $40 each.
Or trash the drill and buy a new 14V for around $200.Do you have anyother ideas? Which choice would you go for.
P.S. I do like this drill.

I think you should buy new batteries, because why get a new one if you like it, and you can get that 14V when the one that you have now will mess up, because drills dont last too long, and you should keep it as long as it works.

I use a cordless drill each day on my job…so i can relate to this situation . What happens as these batteries age they hold less and less charge due to a memory in the charging sequence. Yes, you can have them rebuilt but you are still runninig the risk the outer casing may be bad or even the internal connenctions …….sorry but the best bet is to buy new and have the others recycled…..

there is a reason you don’t see guys walking around with signs on that say “I invented battery operated tools”, someone would kill them!

This site is recommended by a woodworking forum that the members have used and swear by. The owner(?actual member) states that their rebuilt batteries are a cheaper alternative to buying new ones and that they actually last longer than the original. Its where I’m sending 4 of mine.

The batteries didnt seem worth it would go with the charger and all of them have lasted long enough that replacing the new tool who knows the new tool is guaranteed for life so are the batteries quick charger might give up next.
