Battery charger doesn't work when too cold?
I cracked open an el cheapo cordless power tool set at the weekend. I put
an uncharged battery into the charger an after a few seconds the charger indicated charging was complete. The battery was still uncharged. I then tried with the other battery and got the same problem. I tried again today, this time using the charger inside the house instead of an unheated outbuilding. Initially I got the same problem so rang the service center up and they said the charger must be faulty and they'd send a new one. However, after a few hours - now the charger has come up to room temperature (from around freezing) - it seems to be working fine and charging the batteries Have others experienced this, or does it sound like a fault? There's no operating temperature in the instructions, although the charger does say for indoor use only (and I'd claim my outbuilding is still indoors!). Thanks, Piers |
