did you know the Dustbuster cells are of a type designed for being
left on charge all the time,24/7/365 ?


You mean left on the charger base? Yes.


"left on the base" means they are being charged constantly.
There's no smarts in the DB charger of that era.


Digi-Key carrys them,but DeWalt charged me
less than what it would have cost to buy just the cells.


If you remember: how long ago? How much $?

Thx,

IIRC,it was $18 to replace the pack at the DeWalt service center,took a
week. A new DB would have cost around $22,IIRC.
