Per Jim Yanik:

Gotta do your research first,before buying.

I'll take that.

I've never made an impulse purchase without regretting it in the
end.

While cheap tools frustrate me in so many ways, there are smart chargers out
there. I saw an ad the other day in Nuts & Volts, I forget who it was,
Jaycar maybe? They offered a power tool smart charger designed to retrofit
the original, I've never dealt with them personally but it might be worth
looking into.

Sometimes cheap charger ccts are over simplified to meet cost demands.
Then the first time the battery is allowed to go flat the charge cct
blows up !

I have been on the design end with very strict constarints.
A penny off on a million items is a lot of money.
So every penny is saved where possible.
