I've noticed that there are some different opinions about trickle
chargers/battery maintainers. Since I never venture very far or long from
our place, I usually rotate my old NAPA 3 amp charger around whatever
battery equipped vehicles are in storage near an outlet. I usually figure a
day of gentle charging, once per month, seems to get the job done. I do have
a Battery Tender Plus that I used to use but it does cause interference on
the shop radio. I would stay away from the 7.99 chargers.
I have had excellent luck with 18 volt Milwaukee cordless drills. One lasted
10 years with lots of use and abuse and when it finally died, I kept those
batteries for the drill's replacement, another Milwaukee. Those old
batteries still keep an excellent charge and work great. I currently have a
2606-20 and a newer 2801-20 (brushless). They are both great! I have found
that the small version of the 18 volt battery lasts for a very long time,
charges quickly, and isn't as bulky as the bigger version. I have quite a
few corded Milwaukee tools and they work and last forever. I have found that
the least expensive tool is the one that works great and lasts the longest.
Such a shame that Milwaukee is now owned by a Chinese company.

Subject: [TR] Trickle chargers and drills
My wife just asked what I wanted on my Christmas list - joy!
I'd like to get trickle chargers which I can plug in and forget about when
we are away during the winter. What recommendations do you have?
Also, my cordless drill is old and done: again, any recommendations?
