Re: Batteries for Cordless drills

i have that one. the battery was quite good, 2 packs were more than enough for the day's work.
battery is mh, not li. they take longer to charge. but they dont't deteriorate as fast as li, afaik. also they can be repacked.

Re: Batteries for Cordless drills

You could bring the battery pack to Battery Specialists (Cubao) or Raon for battery repacking.

Re: Batteries for Cordless drills

I am planning to get second hand cordless drill, I know (well I think I know) that the number one risk is the battery for second hand gears. How much does a replacement battery pack cost for say this one

Its being sold for PHP 2150. 12 V

.

there is a battery shop along Raon close to Ongpin (Elfhone iirc) who specializes in rechargeable battery replacement. Depending on battery I think the Mh battery cost around 150 ++ each plus welding cost of 40 per weld (with a 300.00 minimum charge). So a 12V battery will have 8 batteries just do the math....:outcold: might save you a little, or you can add a bit more and get another set at that price with two new batteries and a tool.....

Re: Batteries for Cordless drills

wait a minute.. you mean NEW cordless drill comes with two batteries ?

Re: Batteries for Cordless drills

mine came with 2. the drill was new actually, sealed. it sold at a discount because it was 110v.
btw, the set in the pic shows 2 batts.

110v???? its cordless isnt it? are you referring it to the charger?

Re: Batteries for Cordless drills

well yes, it was the charger that was 110.

kung new but surplus yan, it's ok. but if it's used, it's not worth it. most of the cost seems to be the batt.

second hand, or old stock lion likewise are suspect. lion has shelf life, it deteriorate. quicker than mh it seems.

for me, the batt was convenient. but i wanted it for the clutch and low rpm torque. it's easier to control than your usual barena, and it drives drywall screws fast.

i'd have gotten a corded drywall gun but this was within budget.

Re: Batteries for Cordless drills

LOL..It was not a surplus..definitely its my pic and my item..i have sold this 3 units in different buyer months ago..I bought on sale 12 sets (6 setsfor a sale price of 3 ) last year in Calgary Canada during a vacation .Intended as for gifts but decided to sell the leftovers..and i think some landed some member here ..Its 101% original and genuine..110volts..
1 have a unit with defective charger that was accidentally put in 220volts..batteries were brand new still..

Sir saan nyo po nabasa yang info about Lithium Ion having a shelf life (that deteriorates quicker than Mh)?:disagree: As far as I know the shelf life of Li-ion is as good as it gets with the current technology... I really don't think most electronics company will move backward and use Li-ion instead of Mh since it cost more.:fartysmile1f: I sure hope you know what you are posting, other people who read your post could be misled into thinking Metal Hydride batteries are much better than Lithium Ion ones... Please be conscious that what you post here are read by others and can be taken as TRUE no matter how wrong they are... experience is good but please back it up with knowledge... Wrong is wrong no matter how often you do it, no matter how much you convince yourself!

Lithium Ion Vs. Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries

There are several differences between lithium-ion batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries. However, they are both rechargeable batteries. Both types of batteries are also traditionally employed in portable electronic devices.
[LIST=1]

Application

• Nickel-metal hydride batteries are used in portable electronic devices such as cellphones and portable computers. Lithium-ion batteries have the same applications as nickel-metal hydride batteries; they are used in high-end electronic devices.

Voltage

• According to GreenBatteries.com, lithium-ion batteries operate at higher voltages than nickel-metal hydride batteries. Lithium-ion batteries operate at around 3.7 volts versus 1.2 volts for nickel-metal hydride batteries.

Discharge Rate

• Another advantage that lithium-ion batteries have over nickel-metal hydride batteries is that they have a lower discharge rate. This means that lithium-ion batteries hold a charge for longer than nickel-metal hydride batteries.

Storage

• Nickel-metal hydride batteries can lose between 1 and 5 percent of their charge per day while in storage. Lithium-ion batteries can retain nearly 100 percent of their charge while in storage.

Life Span

• According to TopBits.com, lithium-ion batteries typically last anywhere between 3 and 5 years. Nickel-metal hydride batteries are typically rated to last for around 3 years. Storage of nickel-metal hydride batteries at higher temperatures reduces their service life while storage at lower temperatures slows aging.

@ TIMBER 715,

Such great infos on these two kinds of re chargeble batteries, the NMH vs the LITHIUM ION.
Ma aasahan ka talaga. SALUDO KO Brader. !!!!!!!!!!

more evidence. easy to find.

so, i was posting stuff without basis?

would you know who wrote the article and his background?

there really isn't a better battery, they all work fine. they all have shelf life, they also have discharge rate. but when you say:

second hand, or old stock lion likewise are suspect. lion has shelf life, it deteriorate. quicker than mh it seems.

the sweeping statement regarding Li-ion is wrong. Simply bec, Mh deteriorates faster and losses charge faster also.

here is a good site to browse. BatteryUniversity.com it is a lot better than me saying one thing over the net that others can use and believe to be true.
That is why we are extra careful about the info we post. Do remember that not everything we see on the net is True or Correct...
