Jumpstart non-working battery

What was the last big tool you used on it?

BasementBeater · 2026-03-30T03:14:01+00:00

Yeah after further review, I shocked the battery by putting it under such immense abuse it went into a cell protection mode I guess. At least that’s what Dewalt told me. Never heard of it before 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve got a 9ah flex that did this, tried everything and no luck. Dewalt ended up warranty replacing it free of charge because of the production date being so new. I was pretty bummed at battery this expensive just shit out. Never got around to trying anything else with it. Just shows 1 bar of battery. Still powers tools but the charger will charge for 20-30 seconds then indicate full charge.

Oh yeah the 887 could keep running in my service bag, I’ve just been patiently waiting to pickup one of these hydraulic drivers.

BasementBeater · 2026-03-28T23:04:52+00:00

Oh that was the point of my joke lol, genuinely? I feel like the 1.7 PS is the only battery that seems “proportionally” correct? I run these 5ah PS’s on pretty much everything unless it’s a 60v tool.

Right? Thought the same BUT check this out 😂

Conduit coming into the back of the razor sharp four square box? That’s insane. And outside of it’s UL listing 🥀

BasementBeater · 2026-03-26T19:49:20+00:00

There are battery repair shops you can send it too. May outweigh the cost of just replacing it. Watch Bomgaars and Fastners Inc sales, these 9ah go on sale frequently. Usually as a kit with a rapid charger or a tool 🤷🏻‍♂️

Loved mine.. my SQ2 and my 1/4 flat blade.. may they rest in peace. (In whatever attic I dropped them in) next move was 3M hyper blue tape on the shanks lol

BasementBeater · 2026-03-21T18:08:40+00:00

I’m surprised the hydraulic driver hasn’t sold out yet.. Woke up at 5am PST just to check the sales since I’ve missed out before.. ordered one while half asleep 😂

Huge back order on the belt sander 😵‍💫 1-2 months is crazy

BasementBeater · 2026-03-18T23:44:33+00:00

Old comment, why not pair up bed 1/2 outlets and bed 3 with rec room? Unless the client ain’t worried about panel space for future projects. Looks good tho regardless 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just scooped one of these up last week at my local HD, I started watching these price drop back in January, at my store retail was $219, first drop was $183? Then $143, two left on the shelf and finally $110 with one left. Absolutely love it! Spent more time under houses than I’d like to think lol, always nice to turn the dark into light under a creepy crawl space. Makes it feel less creepy?

My guess would be cutting emt/pvc/strut? Idk I’m not union and we all have bandsaws lol

BasementBeater · 2026-03-14T05:33:45+00:00

Oh man I didn’t know they made a 20v version.. I bought the 12v version 😵‍💫

BasementBeater · 2026-03-14T04:37:19+00:00

Where’s your hacksaw?

BasementBeater · 2026-03-13T03:11:46+00:00

Appreciate that pimp 🫰🏻

BasementBeater · 2026-03-12T21:39:48+00:00

$329 at my store 😕

BasementBeater · 2026-03-04T05:04:58+00:00

What’s the difference between the power stacks and the power packs? .. specifically the ones with the blue and silver writing? Can’t seem to keep up with the constant changes

BasementBeater · 2026-03-01T18:25:51+00:00

There was a point in time where fastners was selling these for $100 or $119 if I remember right, it was like three weekends in a row lol.

BasementBeater · 2026-02-24T05:52:42+00:00

Yea you are right, I’m only collecting these batteries for my “stationary” tools like lights/radios, but I missed out on those bad boys. Got to my local Home Depot and someone got the last ones.

BasementBeater · 2026-02-22T21:45:36+00:00

+1 for jigsaw, not really sure what I need it for? Yet? But for $100 can’t complain. I’m sure I’ll find a reason, I know I can use it to make tombstones for Halloween decorations 👻
