Title: Does anyone know who can repair
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 31 March 2009, 19:10:15: Battery drill chargers?
I have had this battery drill for a few years and is brilliant, but the charger no longer works >:( I have looked in the usual places for a new one but apparently the have been discontinued :'(
It is a Hitachi UC14SD Charger.
If anyone knows anywhere or anyone please let me know :y

that coz they are rather useless.

is it plugtop type transformer, or integral to charger? thermal fuse on tranny?

Post by: STMO123 on 31 March 2009, 19:17:00: I thought the batteries and chargers were manufactured separately from the power tools. A charger from a different tool may do it.

wank and decker chargers more common - tool more common, and the fact they are shit, means there are more chargers in the world than there are drills...

Post by: Marks DTM Calib on 31 March 2009, 20:44:56: Is it the charger or the battery breaked?

Are there any volts getting to the baord from the transformer (not its AC).
