  1. I'm thinking about picking a couple Ridgid power tools and I just want to be sure I have all my ducks in a row. I know one has to Register tools or kits within 90 days. I have a couple questions for anyone who has experience with Ridgid's LSA. Do you still have to keep your receipt after registering? Also, do you have to keep the original boxes that your tools came with? 

  2. I think it's a problem with the pcb. I had the same problem as the guy in the video below. I left my battery in a radio and voltage was reading 0 volts on the post, but 4V when i took it apart and measured the main positive and negative. I jumped it like the guy in the video. When it was at 12V from the main positive , the post also showed 12V. From that point it charged it. 

     

    You are already at 18V at the main positive and negative, but only getting 6V from the post. I would bet  the battery cells are fine, andyour problem is with the something on the pcb.

    That's a GREAT idea to do with old unneeded tools. It doesn't void your battery's warranty(if there is a chip system) and it's easy to hook up the battery after the modification. It would also be a GREAT idea to do for a car jump starter, which you might be able to do with that setup...at minimum it will work as a trickle charger. I might be buying a cheap old M18 tool to do this.

    I thought about seeing how it would work as a jump box, but I only used 12 AWG wire. I may have to get some bigger wire and a load tester, so I can see how many cranking amps those batteries have.

  4. I definitely did a good job of voiding that. My only regret is having to send $28 on it. Home Depot had the M12 Xenon flashlights on sale for $15 about a year ago, but I didn't think to grab one at that price. On the bright side, I have spare parts if anything happens to my other M12 LED flashlight.
