[AT] OT cordless drills & batteries

[Dudley Rupert]

Dick,

Sorry I don't have an answer to your' question but it has reminded me of a
question that I have had for some time so I will ask it of the list.

I have two cordless batteries for a Dewalt drill and they both seemed to
have gone bad at the same time as they won't/don't take a recharge.
Question:  Does anyone know, when a cordless battery will not charge, if
there is an easy way to tell if the problem is with the charger or with the
battery?

TIA

Is there any truth to the notion that storing cordless drill battery packs
in the fridge extend their life?

I find this hard to believe since I ruined the last cordless drill batteries
because I left them in my unheated shop during the winter. Now they barely
hold a charge.

Also, any suggestions on a good mid-range cordless 1/2" drill?

Thanks,

Dick Day
