Default Wall Warts


"Puddin' Man"

I've a Skil Mod 2375 3/8" cordless drill (9.6v) thats nearly an antique.

The old wall wart outputs dc 11v, 250 mA when functional. It now has a
slight
bulge and outputs 0v.


** Wall warts break up into THREE distinct groups:

1. AC output.

2. DC output.

3. Battery chargers.

You cannot exchange units from one group into another.

Those in group 3 are the most variable in design and are purpose built to
charge a specific type and number of cells.

The fact they all look much the same and often have the same plugs attached
is very misleading.
