Battery Charger

[pkveazey]

My KOBALT battery charger died. Does anybody know if I can just buy a replacement charger from someplace like Home Depot or Lowes? My Charger is a model number KRC 2445-03. The front plate reads 24v Max Lithium Ion. I have 3 perfectly good batteries for my weed whacker but I need to be able to charge them.

Always verify the seller?s return policy and stock availability before purchasing. If you prefer to check local options or other retailers, let me know your location for more tailored suggestions.

OK, I went to Lowes and they had what I wanted. Instead of the little KOBALT charger, I bought the big rapid charge model. It cost me $60 bucks but now I don't have to sit around waiting for a battery to finish getting topped off. I charged all 3 batteries in just under 2 hours.

    Glad you found a replacement, PK.  Along those lines, I primarily use Dewalt batteries.  Dewalt makes quick battery chargers that run on 110 vac and also they have chargers that run on 12 vdc.  I use a couple of the 12 volt chargers because I run them off our solar electric system.  It?s nice to be able to charge off grid.
