Thread: Cordless tool batteries

There a few tutorials around on how to, but basically dismantle and take pics/draw diagrams of how they are joined together. Jaycar is a good source of batteries at cheap prices, maybe able to upgrade to lithiums at the same time.

Hi,
I met a chap in a truck/home who used to buy old battery drills very cheaply if the batteries were dead or missing.
He then wired a cord in to the terminals and ran them on 12V from his vehicle.
Some went very fast, others were a bit slow, but at about $5 a pop, he wasn't too unhappy.

cheers

I need 2 batteries for my Panasonic cordless drill EY6101 and cost $ 61.00 each
I hope that they are going to last me another 10 years.
Is a good drill but cost $450.00 to replace it
Have a look on Cordless Drill Batteries, Laptop Battery, Power Tool Battery, Notebook Batteries, Digital Camera Battery, Camcorder Battery, AC Adapters, Mobile Phone Battery, PDA Battery. for batteries for your drill.

It is worthwhile getting your batteries repacked with quality cells, and I'm not sure Jaycar cells qualify. I have thrown away quite a few of these until I wised up and now buy premium cells instead. The repackers should be able to spotweld the battery connectors. Soldering them is a risk. Check your area for battery specialists. e.g.

The batteries we are about to throw out are part # EY9231

The drill part # EY6432....lucky to get six months out of our drills

Looks like santa is getting me a new drill but will still look at repacking the batteries as the drill still works perfectly.

I've now gone to Li-ion battery tools. The last battery drill used a NiMH battery, and died due to lack of use. The Li-ion seem to be more resilient.
