Hi all
Maybe one of you electro gurus could point me in the right direction here.
My cordless electric drill (Makita) battery charger has stopped working. It
has a flashing light that says the battery is too hot and charging will
begin again when it cools down. I tried another battery and same thing
happens so I think the fault is more likely in the charger than two separate
batteries failing at the same time in the same way. There are three
connectors between the battery and the charger, positive, negative and a
third unmarked. I'm assuming the third is where it gets it temperature info
from. I looked inside the charger and the three connectors are all single
wire connectors, nothing appears to be broken or burned inside the charger.
Of course a new charger costs almost as much as a new drill, so if it can't
be fixed I'll just buy a new drill, then I'll have two drills and one
charger.
Thanks for any suggestions to troubleshoot further.
Tony
