A way to re purpose your old bad 12v battery pack.\r
This really is not a complicated idea. Most newer cordless tools use lithium ion batteries. I now have the newer versions of this tool. The idea of buying more of the old type ni-cad batteries for some of my old tools seemed foolish so instead of trashing it I decided to try and recycle it. I use this one only when I do some work on my truck. I also converted one of my older drills to a solar tracker uator. If you think its stupid or a waste do not do it. Simple.
