I think my first Makita drill was in 1996. Batteries still kinda ok in 2003..orange battery pack.
I fried charger on msw inverter, then wired for 12v, which would also charge battery pack if i had it in but easily overcharge too.
Forgot it was charging.
Smelled burning abalone shells.
Battery fizzled for a few hours well outside and downwind of camp.
Cant really remember where the drill wound up. I had alligator clamped it with 12 awg.
Probably left it in Baja with somebody who could use it.
