Default Power Charger replacement

My Dewalt power drill charger has failed. Do I have to use a Dewalt
charger replacement OR can I a cheapo from Harbor Freight?

Any experiences?

Thanks!

14.4 amps.


You could use almost any charger designed for charging 14.4 VOLT
batteries providing you could properly rig the connections between the
charger and the battery.

Perhaps you could strip the battery pack receptical from the defunct
charger and use it as a connector?

But, since it appears you have limited electrical knowledge and don't
seem to know the difference between volts and amps, I'd suggest you play
it safe and get a whole new charger.

Try eBay. Searching for "Dewalt charger" will get you a zillion hits.

HTH,

Jeff
