Title: [HELP] Wireless Drill power supply alternative Post by: aniket210696 on June 08, 2013, 11:55:48 AM hi!
recently, i was charging my cordless drill battery, and there was fluctuation at home, and the charger blew.... :( now i cant use the drill because i cant charge the battery... searched around in shops for another charger, but no luck because it's a chinese drill and they don't keep stuff for these... so i was wondering, can i connect my LiPo to this? it is a 12v drill, so if i connect my 2200 3s 25c, can i use it? or will i need one with a higher discharge? or is there a way to charge the battery with my lipo charger? i have an accucell 6, here are some pics for better reference this is the battery: (http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y529/aniket210696/2013-06-08114117_zps6fca3208.jpg) (http://s1279.photobucket.com/user/aniket210696/media/2013-06-08114117_zps6fca3208.jpg.html) and this is the points inside the drill(left one is +ve ) (http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y529/aniket210696/2013-06-08114146_zps371cbd2b.jpg) (http://s1279.photobucket.com/user/aniket210696/media/2013-06-08114146_zps371cbd2b.jpg.html) and these are the points on the battery... i cant figure out how to charge it, because i dont know what to do with the "ground" pin...

The charger should automatically detect number of cells.
You could also get the original charger repaired. If you know the charge rate & trickle rate you could buy another charger Title: Re: [HELP] Wireless Drill power supply alternative Post by: aniket210696 on June 08, 2013, 12:20:26 PM @sanjay sir, what battery type do i set it as? its got these cardboard like cells inside,, but nowhere does it mention what battery type it is
Title: Re: [HELP] Wireless Drill power supply alternative Post by: saikat on June 08, 2013, 12:30:05 PM Your accucel can easily charge this pack -
To identify battery type count the number of cells If 10 nos then its either NiCd or Nimh - to be on the safe side charge at Nimh setting at 1500 mah charge rate. If 3 nos then LiOn - charge at you normal Lipo setting 3s Seeing the drill quality - it is unlikely to be Life you can also connect your lipo to the drill - the original pack is 1.5 ah or 1500 mah so your 2200 mah pack should easily be able to power your drill.
