In Response To: Re: You beat me to it! (Paul)

: Hi Brian,

: Fortunately at the time when I did my Versapak battery installation I worked
: for Black & Decker. I had access to field returned product which made
: for a wide selection of available parts.

That's pretty convenient!

: I found the best contact setup
: was the dual battery compartment from a Versapak Electric Broom Stick.
: Putting two of them back to back I had my four cell contact arrangement
: which slipped easily into a plastic jar with a gasketed watertight lid. I
: brought silicone insulated wires out the side of the jar and sealed them
: with RTV.

Thanks for the description. I was thinking of something roughly similar, but I guess I'll have to make the contacts.

: I used the Versapak Gold sticks which are nickel hydride
: batteries.

That's what I bought. The B&D store had a bizarre sale where if you bought a tool, you got 75% off the accessories. The batteries were dirt-cheap.

: If you have access to a Black & Decker Factory outlet they may have
: returned or damaged product that you can obtain at a reduced price. I am
: not sure if B&D still sells the Electric Broom in their line.

There are a couple of stores in the area, so I guess I'll check with them.

: Regarding
: the Versapak Charger stand they sell a dual stick version which is better
: than even their 4 stick charger. You can buy this separately.

Thanks for the tip. I really didn't want to spring for the 4 battery charger, anyway.

: Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Don't apologize; this is the kind of info. I needed. Thanks.
