I think your B&D branded drill has NiCd batteries, not LiOn. Check the labels on the battery. What is the voltage? Battery model number? Black and Decker...
It would become you if you made less assumptions and did a little bit more research, to avoid being wrong so often. You would have known that I hand-installed...
That should not be a problem. I have a charger designed for RC packs (RC cars mostly) that uses jumpbers for the different battery rates and capacities....

Cor, The battery that is 4 times larger than the Prius is NOT NOT NOT the same format battery as the Prius.   THus the assumptions you seem to be making...
Cor, ...but there are no Lithium batteries that have SHOWN that long lifetime you talk about.... Therory is nice talk but Lithium is NOT real world yet. Greg...
It is just unbelievable to me that folks keep buying into this.... Would the Rav4EV battery provide the VOLT its 40 mile range? YES Could you get a 40 mile...
The problem is that the charging system you describe dose not take into acount the thermal factors. If you do not take the thermal factors into account you...
I don't know if GM is ever going to produce the Volt. I also don't know for how long Brandes Investment is going to stick to it's strategy of double game;...
It was Dean Devlin, in remembrance of the late GM EV1 driver Don Devlin, who put up the money, and well-spent, to finace Who Killed the Electric Car, and hours...
Hi Tom, Until the Nickel patents can be pried from Chevron's control, the best hope is Lithium. But Li is very expensive, not cheap; not as expensive as the...
Doug, Well, that IS a Lithium battery in the Black & Decker drill. http://www.blackanddecker.com/productguide/product-details.aspx?product id=15522 ...
It was GM's failure to meet customer expectations, its arrogant assumption that the customer had no place else to go, that led GM to its present sad condition....
... Hi Doug, Thanks for retelling WKtEC, I think this clearly illustrates why you are so passionate about this issue. That does not make your information...
Correct, EV size batteries cannot be mistreated like the tiny (and cheap) RC batteries. That is why every EV sized battery should come with a BMS (Battery...
But in the Prius, the real temp problems that occur above 80& SOC are avoided completely and thus the thermal monitoring is minimal and not nearly what would...
GM needs to put up or shut up. They have been talking for going on 20 years. They made a car and took it away. Reading "The Car that Could" you can see that GM...
Vice Chairman Lutz GM Corp. Via Email to Bob.Lutz@... Dear Mr. Lutz: When I asked you "why not use Lead or Nickel batteries for the Volt", and later upgrade...
You are correct that my charger does not take temperature into account but that is easy to program into a computerized BMS. It just becomes another parameter...
Please try to have more respect for General Motors. Imagine if they did produce the VOLT. Would they sell it or would they only lease it? Suppose it became the...
... Or maybe to prompt Chevron/Cobasys to make a bigger battery available to Toyota. Toyota may be telling them "if you won't sell me one, I'll give my money...
Are you implying that there is a hard and fast limit to the space the batteries can take up? If the battery pack is to be x cubic inches at LiOn, and it would...

Wha are you talking about? You made a recipe for disaster. If you don't know what your talking about, don't talk. Gm has what they need in development. They...
