[TR] Trickle chargers and drills

[DAVE HOGYE]

I've been using Makita 18V 4.0ah and 5ah cordless tools.  Drill, Impact driver, Circular saw and light use chain saw.   Good tools, no problems and now multiple batteries to rotate among the bunch.  The batteries will lock you into a certain manufacturer and keep buying products within that generation of battery.  
I've been using three of the original trickle style Battery Tender chargers for many years and leave them on vehicles, cars, trucks and motorcycles, for months.  Somewhat recently, I purchased what might be one of the Junior models.  It also gets used for long periods.  I'll keep a closer eye on that one now, but it seems to be working excellently.  
These maintenance chargers should not be used to bring low charge or dead batteries back to life.
First use a standard higher amperage charger before switching to a maintenance charger.

But I've also got a regular and right-angle drill, a soldering iron, a rotary (Dremel) tool, a band saw and a reciprocating saw. Heck, I even splurged and bought a powered grease gun! Anyway, lots of expansion possibilities, from a well known brand that you know will be around for a long time.
