Well performance power is B&Q's own brand, so I gleaned this from their website

call the Performance Power helpline on 0845 300 2577.

evening kev....

why dont you use a pipe slice like everyone else... ok it aint as quick as a saw. but hey...

If you really can't get batts to fit, prise it open and you will probably find it has a bundle of standard cells inside, soldered together - they say you can refill the packs for almost any rechargeable...
as here http://eurobatteries.com/sitepages/nimh.asp

Who's "they" John?

 

[JohnD]

the people who sell the "component" cells, per my link.

Iv got some of these tools, and I have obtained replacements via B&Q themselves.

I think the tools are of RYOBI manufacture, but typically, the Ryobi batteries dont seem to fit.

why should they, less money for ryobi if they fitted a differnt tool
