Rebuilt tool battery charging hints

You Asked.

When did you rebuild this battery and how long will it hold a full charge?

My answer,

Hi,

I rebuilt the battery in the recent past. It does not have a sticker on it so that means it has not been inventoried as stock yet.

As a matter of information only, a battery built with sub c cells by nature will lose
approximately 1% of its voltage in 24 hrs. Conceivably in a 30 day time period the battery, rebuilt, or brand new, will lose approximately 30% of its charge.

This knowledge is very important to me when I hear from someone that their battery is in excellent condition with little use on it as it sets around most of the time. All batteries have to be maintained to survive. A ni-CD battery will become useless if not maintained after the initial charge takes place.

Thank you for your interest.
