About 3 years ago, I had two of my Dewalt 18v batteries 'rebuilt' by
Primecell.
It was a pretty straightforward process and I was happy at the time.
However, the other day, I when to use my dewalt drill and neither battery
would work.
After a short inspection, it seems the rear terminals on these batteries
were corroded. I checked other batteries I had and there was no
corrosion. Some of the batteries were years older than the Primecell ones
with the corrosion.
So I plan to write them to explain the situation, but I was wondering if I
could get any input here first.
For one, has anyone else seen this on Primecell (or other) batteries?
Does anyone know what could cause the rear terminal to corrode? Note, I
do not leave my batteries on the chargers for longer than they require a
charge, I don't use them that often, I always replace batteries before
they are completely dead. All my batteries are stored in the same place.
So why only these batteries?
Thanks.
