Coleman Powermate 18v Battery
The Pack Works OK But Be Very Careful To Make SURE That The Polarity On Your Charger Is The Same As The Battery Polarity. This Battery Pack Has The Positive And The Negative Connections Reversed. Your Pack May explode If You Don't Check For This Condition. The Other Problem I Had Is That It Works great As A Flash Light ONLY. Because Of The Polarity Reversal It Will Not Work With Any Power Tool. I Had Bought The Item To Use With My Coleman Power Tool Set. I Really Don't Understand Why They Are Reversed. I Stumbled Across That Situation Purely By Accident. But I Am Very Glad I Did. Like I Said Before Works excellent As A Flash Light Because polarity Does not Matter It Is A Single Filament Short Circuit. I Also Opened The Pack up to see if It Could be reversed Back. But The Way They Are Spot Welded It can't Be Done Easily. This Pack Is The Same Configuration As The Coleman Pack Except You have To Remove The Batteries From Their Original pack And install Them in The Cole Pack Containers. The ONLY Difference Is The Polarity Reversal. I Priced The Batteries As If I Were Going to make My Own pack but They Came Out Costing Much much More. The Price Of This Pack Is Absolutely The Best price For 1.3 AMP HR Nicads There Are 15 Batteries In This Configuration. (15 X 1.25 = 18 Volts). 18V Replacement Battery Pack'
