For those who use a drill regularly, expect the get about five to ten years out of the drill. You will probably need to buy a few new batteries, but the drill should still be functioning well with proper care.
Charge Test for Drill Batteries

Place the battery on the charger and allow it to charge for the designated period. If, after allowing the battery ample time to charge, your drill still isn`t operating properly, then it`s time to invest in a new battery.

These batteries are constructed in two different ways: spirally wound batteries, which offer a maximum service life of approximately 10 years; and bobbin-type cells, which are the only lithium batteries that can deliver 25+ years of service life.
Ever wonder, “How often should a car battery be replaced?” Many car experts agree you should change your battery every 4-5 years, though that time frame depends on several factors that affect battery life.
Set the multimeter to 15-20 volts, hook up the multimeter to the positive and negative battery terminals, and read the voltage. Your owner`s manual will give you a clearer understanding of where your battery voltage should be, but in most cases, you`re looking for approximately 12.6 volts.
Reading 0 volts, chances are the battery experienced a short circuit. Cannot reach higher than 10.5 volts when being charged, then the battery has a dead cell. Fully charged (according to the battery charger) but the voltage is 12.4 or less, the battery is sulfated.
Under normal household use, the useful life of a 18v NiCd battery is 150-200 full charge cycles before the user will feel that the battery should be replaced. Battery life may vary depending upon factors, including but not limited to, charging conditions, battery maintenance, storage, and environmental conditions.
For example, a 2.0ah battery draws 2 amps of power and you will need to recharge it after 60 minutes of continuous use (under ideal circumstances).
If not lubricated, the metal parts of your drill will become dull and maybe even chipped over time. This will shorten the life of wearing parts like the chuck. The good news is that oiling a Cordless Drill is pretty straightforward.

Battery?, wiring?? Had a recent problem with blades not engaging. I have had also had a slightly older issue of battery not holding charge so i have to boost or jump start mower. I went out and bought brand new battery and after one usage it would not hold charge and blades will still not engage. Would the issue related to the battery effect the engagement of the blades???
ANSWER : If your Alternator didn’t charging the battery, even though you brand new battery will not last. So there is two possible cause, 1) Your Alternator is not functioning. 2) there is a wiring problem that causing your battery to discharge easily, but you check it after you switch off the key remove the battery negative terminal then touch it back to batt term. and see if there is little blue spark, if does your wiring system got problem. If not, so your Alternator do not charge the battery.

My battery will not keep a charge it don’t last 10 minutes/ i like the weedeater but it just don’t last long enouh
ANSWER : I had one of these a while ago, the batteries are just cheap. Trimmers also use a lot of energy and battery powered ones aren’t the best way to go if you want them to run a long time. I highly recommend replacing it with a good gas or plug in model from your local hardware store, they can help you find the right one to fit your budget. If you don’t want to get a new trimmer you are going to be fighting dying batteries every year.
