Repairing a makita double charger with a damaged battery retainer.

customs broke the yellow batter connector on their battery and forced it on to the charger port damaging it also.
replacement parts for the charger are not available so the only option is to use a broken charger for spare parts.

I have a question you say you don't replace the circuit boards on the batteries is it that you think the copy boards are dangerous? I am asking because I repaired a 6ah battery last week with a copy board bought from ebay.

[@deandohertygreaser]

I have used the copy eBay boards and the aliexpress boards on my own batteries. I don't fit them for customers simply because of liability. I'm not risking a customer burning their house down simply to save them a few pounds.
I don't mind Using them myself as I know the risk, but you couldn't explain the risk to a customer.

Hi dean sorry but slight different question in relation to the charger, I have a 110v single makita charger which suddenly won’t work, a sparky on site reckons it’s the fuse gone, is it a big job to replace the fuse, and if not would you talk me through the steps, or better again a video of it,
Thanks love your channel

Surely you can replace the broken pins on the battery!!!

[@deandohertygreaser]

You can if you have a donner battery. But there is quite a bit of work to it. And I cannot do it as it would not be cost effective for the customer

[@mikewilkinson7802]

@@deandohertygreaser fair play, I take it you can’t get spares for them!
