Cordless Drills are wonderful tools. Almost everybody from professionals to home improvement DIY hobbyists use them. When this tool stops working it's a nightmare because the work is interrupted. And oftentimes the problem is that the batteries are no good anymore.



Bluetooth is another cobalt ontario copyright major factor that can reduce your battery power considerably. Always keep it turned off when you are not using it. Check for the Bluetooth indicator to make sure, you haven't left it on.

There are several types of battery in use at the present time and each must be treated differently. There are Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad), Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium-ion. Ni-Cad is old technology and hence only found in ancient handsets, so I will not be covering them in this article. NiMH batteries perform much better than Ni-Cad, typically giving 30% more talk time, but Lithium are thinner and give even higher performance. I will be concentrating on lithium facts-ion as it is the most used modern mobile phone battery to date. Check which type of battery your phone has before following any of the following.

The lithium-ion battery is light years ahead of the earlier batteries and considerably better than the Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or the nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries which are still being used. These batteries are less expensive but the Li-ion batteries are far superior in three ways.

On the second point, iPOD batteries are smart charging. Now, you can't use your iPOD Nano battery to help study for a test! Rather, they're smart because they can tell the charger when they're almost full. When your iPOD is charging, it charges up to 80% capacity in no time flat. Then the iPOD battery tells the charger to slow down so the charging process goes lithium bettery stock from warp speed to snail's pace. This ensures that the battery doesn't overcharge, and makes certain that you're spending your time with your music, and not spending your cash on iPOD batteries.

The basic rule of getting a replacement battery is that it should have the same voltage as the original. An 18V drill cannot run on a 12V battery. It can only run on a 18V battery. The other thing is that the physical packaging of a battery can be different from company to company. A 12V Ryobi battery may not fit into a 12V Makita cordless drill unless the battery has the right physical dimensions. So make sure the replacement battery looks the same as the old one before you order it. Also, if you are looking for a replacement battery of the same voltage rating and by the same company, know that battery technology is changing rapidly. An 18V lithium-ion battery has a different physical packaging than a NiCad 18V battery.

Battery chargers for mobile phones are notable in that they come in a wide variety of connector-styles and voltages, most of which are not compatible with other manufactures' phones or even different models of phones from a single manufacturer.
