Just an update. So i left the new circuit that i added. As it happened the Consumer unit for the night rate (Storage heaters) was making a few noises and one of the storage heaters stopped working. I opened it up and noticed the Bus bar had brunt and was a bit of a mess, especillay around...

Hi Guys. Just a quick update. So because I had bought the all in one already, didn't have the receipt and someone had opened the tub I ended up using it :s But for next time I know better. Anyways so I made a few mistakes. 1. I thought the tiles where standard white, apparently they...

hi. Thanks for the responses. Yup I am using 6" plain white ceramic tiles. also the area is above the end of the bathtub. The bottom 4 rows are already tiled. I just want to go up just incase the area gets wet. John any particular reason why not ready mix all in one?

so I took the battery pack apart. Out of 15 cells. 11 are showing zero.4 are showing 1.52v. I guess the pack is dead. so replace the cells, try to use the mig welder trick. or buy a new drill it is.

awSome. Thanks. Will give it a shot and update you.

Hi Monkeh thanks for the responses. I found this pic online: Its excatly the same charger but for 14.4v batteries. And this which is slightly different charger but with 18V batteries. I guess thats the only other option, although i hate throwing things away that work (well the...

Apologies, i did make a mistake in the post. They seem to use the same charger and circuit for lots of different voltage units, it looks like they swap the resistor to regulate the voltage. The resistor that was in my unit i think is: Red White Black Gold 29ohms 5% (Its too badly burnt to be...

Hi Guys. I bought a B&D drill some time ago. The drill had had very little use, as it was for general DIY. Charger Model: 486910-11 Battery A9277 A while ago i noticed the battary ran down, when i went to charge it the Red charge light monetarily flashed then went green to say its fully...

Nope it's permanently sealed onto the unit. So once connected I wouldn't need to remove it unless I had to. I think kitchen will be the best bet, even though I have something against brushing my teeth at the kitchen sink. Thanks for all that responded.

Hi Guys. The reason why i asked if any of those two applied to me was in case i could somehow connect the device under the bathtub, or in a water tight box, for those of you that couldn't use common sense, meaning the device would be wired under the tub, and it it self would be left in a...
