Re: Prayed over a drowning victim...was resurrecte
OK, I placed the Makita battery into an old DC-18RA Makita charger. It has the red light flashing. Which means two things, one the battery is overheated, and two the battery is defective. Pulled the Makita battery apart and found one cell is oxidized. Yet, all the battery cells checked out nice. Still shows a full charge.
Will not be putting battery back on any of my chargers. Because when you persist placing a "defective battery" or "hot battery" onto a charger. You will fry the pcb board. Then the unit needs to have a new board installed. While I had the battery apart I sprayed it with Paslode cordless tool cleaner (part no. 219348) and cleaned the oxidized terminal. I personally believe that I may have to take an old lap top and use the battery cells from it to replace the one cell in this Makita if it fails. I highly doubt that this is some sort of Elijah situation like the meal and the Ted cruse of oil. Where it just keeps working without stopping. I reassembled the battery and stuck it back into the gun. Will find out Monday how she does.
