Okay so weird battery story. Long story short tools were stolen and replaced all my shit with the cheapest garbage I could get away with until I could reinvest peicemeal…
Got a shitty Black and Decker drill. Drill of course was not great but was mostly for drywall and wood at the time so it was enough… That thing’s battery was god tier. Like I know it wasn’t under super heavy load but I used the shit out of that thing and maybe charged it once every 2 months when most batteries in a drill might last me a week if it’s not a heavy use situation. Never seen anything like it.
Eventually the actual drill died like 5 years on the job but right up til the end that battery never quit. I almost miss the thing now even though I caught flack for having such a shit brand. But knowing what is possible made me wonder what the hell was in that thing. Magic? Uranium? Was it the shit drill just ran on damn near nothing? All of the above?
Maybe planned obsolescence is a truth in power tool batteries…
