Default Black and Decker 12 v drill: Faulty battery charger

Thanks for the answer. The Black & Decker charger is out of the
question. It's pretty useless and unreliable. As for building something
from scratch or modifying; my kit construction days are over. As a
matter of interest (I hope), I bought my first kit (a simple valve
audio amplifier) from Lasky's first shop in the Harrow Road, London. Old
man Lasky himself was serving behind the counter. I also bought some
radio kits (transistor) from Henry's. I first went to Henry's first
shop, before it moved (the Marylebone flyover was being built). And
again, old man Henry himself was in attendance. To save you asking, I'm
70 years "old".


I've modified cheap drill chargers to constant current 14 hour charge
types. There's usually plenty of room inside them to do this and the
components required are cheap and simple.
