Can the battery Ah be too great for the tool?

Ah is the size of the petrol tank (6Ah is twice the capacity of 3Ah). It would be difficult to see how that could be too great. The physical size of the different capacity batteries varies, so an oversize battery can affect the balance of the tool so maybe that is what the note is about.

It may be that the better batteries can deliver more current and that is what is frying the switch. Think of that as the size of the hose running from the tank to the motor. Even at a stall, the old batteries could not produce more than X amps, wheras the new ones produce 3X amps, which the switch does not like.

There may be some electronic trickery that would current-limit the supply from the tool (like a lot of benchtop power supplies have). If that came as a cheap module, it could be worth an experiment.

@ukracer so much for Evri's next day service They've "got it". Utterly useless when you consider I took it to a drop off point Monday morning on next day and you still haven't got it.

Beyond useless. You can't actually chat, just go back to them by choosing a pre programmed answer:

I've escalated things with Evri and they're looking into the late delivery. I've asked for a refund too. The bot was surprisingly easy to deal with.

For my next trick I'm back on the WORX to old style Makita adapter. A bit of a mission as I want it to clip as normal into the old drill. The WORX battery is just a tad too wide to make it easy.

I can't use vertical battery blades as they enter the battery horizontally. Playing here with standard 1/4" spade crimps.

I have loads of those old makita battery cases in 12v, 14v and 18v if you need any. I have a few random other makes, just let me know what you need.

Whole drawer full here too. Might have to get a Makita 14.4V for my collection sometime...

Did you ever do a dewalt to milwaukee?

Modern 18V DeWalt to modern Milwaukee? No.

I see in my Flickr albums I've been playing with a modern DeWalt battery to Makita tool so I have the DeWalt bit:

Things a bit easier on CAD now with the new graphics card.

@ukracer I wonder, if on x-ray, the adapter I sent you looks like a proper battery and some AI has flagged it up for closer inspection? Batteries I believe are one of their no no items to ship.

Either that or someone thought what a cracking design and has opened it up to steal/copy...

You won't get it unless I reschedule so you need to decide ref parcel shop pick up or safe place. Cheers.

The best part is when evri deliver they always leave it on the step without waiting after knocking.

Mods feel free to clean it up.

Sorry!

I meant to keep it off the thread. Tbh Evri have dropped themselves in it with the two different stories!
