If the 40v Ryobi are discharged too low or are put on the charger hot they may not charge. As said, if hot let them cool. If over dis charged put it in the charger and let it go through the start charge sequence, remove and repeat several times and they will get enough voltage to start the normal charge rate.

Just as many new car chargers will not charge a dead battery.

It’s part of the journey, or something, something.

I can’t wait to have my house with shop so I can fill it with stuff I may or may not finish.

Talk of LiPO RC batteries and chargers had me kicking myself. It's a weird feeling remembering life before home ownership, or more to the point, having a permanent working space. I know I should straighten up but I'm still enjoying the rebellion.

I'm all but done with flying r/c. The new FAA requirements are getting impossible to deal with. Just to fly my blade 400 in my backyard, line of sight, never breaking 25' in any direction, I'm supposed to have my FAA id# on the heli, as well as a remote id module that transmits my heli's location. I believe I'm also supposed to be filing a flight plan as well...

At least you're not 4 miles out from O'Hare right under one of the lanes... Gets noisy at night when the big cargo jets come in if they're landing from the east!
I have a few drones small enough to be ok but never fly them. Horrible at it. Also a whole bunch of cars I never run anywhere. Was going to start racing them then got back into autocross. Since then all the tracks have disappeared. Some pretty nice hardware for it, collecting dust.

Seriously? I haven't stayed on top of it. Guess I'm done with that hobby.

That one has too much cruft all over it.

The one he really wants looks more like a stripper pole.
