Both the batteries for my bosch drill/driver are knackered as i've left them on charge for too long and they now won't hold a charge.

Is there a way to revive them or am i looking at new ones, probably a new drill??

thanks

You can recell them, or have them recelled. I imagine there'll be tool shops that do it, and if not, the radio controlled hobby shops will.

this any good to you? There's a part 2 on there somewhere? Also I would imagine you could buy replacement batterys for Bosch kit?

Could contact Smudge, maybe he do this sort of thing.

He is a battery wizard.

I recently rennovated a couple of battery packs using cells bought on eBay - it took something like 30 mins with a soldering iron.

You know. Recelling battery packs is like making love to a beautiful woman. You need a source of some heat and some shrink wrap..........

I know it's been done before but I couldn't resist

I'll get my coat

A spell in the freezer sometimes perks them up.

Deep cycles and freezing may kill or cure; most likely the former.
