Hi all
First post here and I would be grateful for any advice.
Sorry if this question comes up all the time - I did a forum search but could not find the answer.
Do people keep the batteries in their cordless drills if they are used only very occasionally ?
It occurred to me that as the drill is ready to go at the press of the trigger the battery must be in circuit.
Have three drills, two with ni-cd and one with Lithium ion. From my experience with model aircraft I know the l-ions should be stored at 40% or so of charge (never full) but is it best to keep the ni-cd's topped up occasionally ?
Finally, is it wise to oil the chuck ?
Many thanks for any replies
