If anyone missed it. I was over at Harbor Freight and was checking the recalls on their tools. One safety recall was for Milwaukee 14.4 v and 18 v NiCd battery packs manufactured between Sept 1999 and February 2004. This is a Milwaukee recall, not an HF recall. So, if you have any dead battery pack manufactured between those dates, get a new one.
hey, I think I've got a bunch of them! Cool, free new battery packs!
Mine are older than that. I got tired of dead batteries so wired my Makita to plug into a cigarette lighter or connect direct to a car battery as needed.
A good place to get batteries at a good price is batteries.com. Give it a try. A lot of batteries are used in more than one product so you might have to put a little effort into looking.
