Discussion for the Ryobi HP1201K 9.6V/12V Center Handle Drill
You can have your batteries tested at most repair shops or a specialty battery shop. A good shop will have diagnostic equipment that will test the battery for defects and overall condition.
In your comment block for Part # 1411141, ni-cad battery charger, you said to test the batteries to see if they are any good before buying a new charger. How do I test the batteries? My battery charger burned up (melted).
I love using the Ryobi HP1201K. It was a gift to my long passed away husband from son.
I'm always reaching for it. It is great but I can no longer use it since it will not take a charge. Is 5 the highest? That is where I score the drill.
