About 18 months ago I bought a cheap battery drill from B&Q expecting it to last a few months. In fact I only bought it because I had lent mine to a friend and needed to use one that day. It is a 30v thing and came with two batteries.
It has exceeded all my expectations and I reckon that I have drilled near enough a thousand holes with it in aluminium, steel, wood, masonry.
To get to the point, I was in B&Q a few days ago and noticed a pile of spare batteries for my drill at £7.50 each 'to clear' so I bought a couple - does anyone know if it is better to leave the new batteries in their boxes until the original ones stop accepting a charge or should I charge them up and use them all in rotation?
