Re: ShopTalk: Batteries for Power Devices

[John Kaufman]

HI Mykey,   I bought a cheap drill from Harbor Freight that wouldn't hold a charge worth a damn. I took the battery pack apart and it a a bundle of the slightly smaller size "C" cells. A couple  of the cells were dead zero. I bought a  few of the NiCad small "C's" from Digi Key. They were less that $3 each as I recall.  1 800 DIGI-KEY. Great source for low cost electronic stuff.   Cheers, John ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 8:37 PM Subject: ShopTalk: Batteries for Power Devices Al T and All, Do any of you guys have a reliable source for reasonably priced batteries for power drills etc. I have mostly Sears stuff -- who knows who made it. The batteries are done for and I am trying to find if replacements are in order or if the equipment goes in the trash. I guess in the same light then what do you all use for these devices. I love the portable stuff because it is so convenient. But if every battery is like $40 then maybe cords are not so bad. Inkind, MyKey
