Need to get back at the yard cleanup. Till later…

Last post was supposed to read – Battery and drill both worked great!

orked great! As did the window to get rid of some of the heat in the loft.

Well, both batteries took a full charge. Used one of them to run a bunch of screws in a vent window I installed in the loft earlier.

Last post should read – taking the “big” sliding door out…

Thinking about taking the bit sliding door out completely and putting in windows, or adding a room out front with windows on the north side.

Now on to more cleaning, moving, sorting, and trying to get the Q-hut turned (back) into a working shop.

Both are taking a proper charge from the Ryobi charger now. 🙂 Guess that was a well spent $5…

First one (which would hold a bit of a charge) went to 13.8 volts first time around. Other one took two hot shot cycles to get there.

After it was working did the apply full 12 volt charge across each cell for about 6 to 8 seconds and then check output voltage of battery.

Checked them this morning and both had several dead/0 Volt cells. Got old battery charger from barn, then spent half an hour fixing it.

Bought older Ryobi 14.4 volt drill yesterday. Had 2 batteries with it, one that would hold slight charge, other dead.
