Aldi battery screws.

[Pete.]

Nah, it was the old me that was interested. Now I just long for the perfect triangle of:
garage >workshop>garden>pub

Ah, the famous 4-sided triangle

Ah, the famous 4-sided triangle

I was wondering who'd pick up on that first!

 

[MoreWellie]

How do you check?

I found the invoice and knew it was 2 year warranty

 

[ukracer]

Just seen this..not sure if it's this June or last June. Lol

 

[MoreWellie]

It doesn't matter when they last sold them the batteries have a manufacture date on the bottom label so they know whether it is realistically under the 2 year warranty

Mine may have been on the desk for longer than I thought as it says 05/2019

Edit: and the last time the 6th June was on a thursday was 2019

unless the 10mm Tory I have is defective.

Perish the thought.

So this could be next week.

Sorry for being idle and looking it up.myself. I have just been on a chat screen with virgin media for 6 hours. Just waiting for the transcript.

BTW I was not looking the possibility of taking it back...I don't have the receipt anyway.

I wahoping to buy a few more...

Boxes and receipts are also coded to the battery inside so you can't return an old one that has died in a new box unless you swap the stickers over, and no one should ever try that it's just wrong.

Stickers come off with a hot air gun.

So it could

I thought they had stopped selling batteries when I looked online recently

your battery says 2023 so it should still be in warranty anyway but no receipt makes that irrelevant

 

[ajlelectronics]

no receipt makes that irrelevant

Not the case. Under CRA 2015, all that you need is some proof of purchase; an entry on a bank statement for instance will be perfectly acceptable.

Aldi / Lidl don't often quibble.

 

[Onoff]

Aldi / Lidl don't often quibble.

"Lidl don't quibble!" Has a certain ring to it.

Can't think of one for Aldi...

I am looking for a tool to remove the screws in an Aldi battery. Active energy.

Looking at the it seems like an Allen key (hex key).

But all I can find in long versions (the small sets which fit one handle are too wide.

They seem to like unicorn poo.

Radio control car tool kits.

Scratch that. Just saw the security knob.

Is he following you around the store?

The battery is fully charged but the battery circuitry won't allow the tool its fitted to to run.

Try connecting it to the charger once it has all dried out. The protection circuits often need to see an external voltage to reset.

It won't charge or power the tools.

Found some batteries left at our local aldi. They had 50 when I purchased 3. When I took one back that did not work they only had 6 left.

I can tell you that they might look the same with a different label. But they are not.. lots of parts different on the cell holder and different moldings on the shell it's self.

All in all I had a good day today....
