Icheck to see if your charger is one of the recalled ones. If so
you can get a new charger free that is better.

Glad I read this thread. I found the recall, and the picture looks just like my charger. I'll check tonight to see if it is one of the two recalled chargers.

Hmmm. The recall states it covers two models. My charger is one of them. But the next paragraph, it gives a range of date codes. My date code falls just outside the range listed. Does this mean my charger is OK?

I've done it but used my battery pack welder to put back strips, no soldering.

I have read pros and cons concerning heat related issues from soldering tabs on sub c nicd batteries. Do you rebuild the dewalt battery packs?
