Panasonic EY9200B 12-Volt 3.0 Amp Hour NiMH Pod Style Battery

I purchased 2 of these high powered batteries for my 5 year old guns and received them just find out that I need a special charger which I cant find anywhere unless I buy an entirely new gun. It wood be nice if this info was posted on the site and not just on the box when I received it. The batteries were shipped in a timely fashion and in perfect shape. But only good for a one-time use since I cant charge them with my 15-min charger.

I have 3 of these batteries. They work great! A charge lasts about 30-50% longer than NiCads. These are an absolute MUST for the wood and metal saws. As previously mentioned, you MUST have the new Universal Charger.

It seems Panasonic has made it impossible to upgrade to NMH batteries unless you buy a whole new outfit. It took a real study in 'logic' to work this out. All combinations lead to a new system. I refuse to be be 'faked out' so I cut the black case off of my 12 volt nickle cads with a band saw (just deep enough to slip the case off)and hooked up a set of leads with alligator clips which can connect to a 12 volt auto battery or similiar.
