1242235	2011-11-06 05:30:00	Hard to say, is there any info on google? My Ryobi says 3.5hrs and not to leave it in there (12V) as it doesnt switch off Good luck	Gobe1 (6290)
1242236	2011-11-06 05:38:00	This one doesn't switch off either.	Colpol (444)
1242237	2011-11-06 06:04:00	I usually run or let my Ryobi HCD77 7.2V battery run flat, then charge for at least 3 hours then switch on to check if it runs at sufficient speed. But always have corded drills as back up. Maybe search for a manual, often they are in pdf. Some pdf's here (www.google.co.nz) - just refine your search, or visit their website. Though you can re-solder battery packs with single cells.	kahawai chaser (3545)

1242239	2011-11-06 07:03:00	It would be easier to just give the brand and model.	mikebartnz (21)
1242240	2011-11-06 07:25:00	At the end of the day there are many variables like just how flat the battery is to start with, its internal resistance and just how much current is actually flowing etc.etc. But I’ve had excellent results using one of those plug-in timers set for 3hrs. Never cooked a battery since I've used one. I did before though. ;)	B.M. (505)
1242241	2011-11-06 08:47:00	OK it is an AEG battery powered "Powertac 18" Staple gun. Unit 322-129. Fairly old model as cannot find a listing for it when I search the manufacturers web site or anywhere else (looking for a manual). Maybe I am just not searching right. The Charging system is called SYSTEM ACCU 2000. Unit 932-318-593 Have found the battery in the Europe and USA but the price is more than it is worth, especially when you add freight Plenty of AEG chargers but none look like the one I have here. I have charged it for 2 hrs and it seems to be OK (Barely got warm), I am very happy with the stapler as it is in mint condition, hardly been used. My fear is overcharging. 3 hrs sounds pretty good so I might stick to that in the absence of anything more specific. I use a timer for my second drill battery, no problem there. I thought that knowing the capacity of the battery and the specs of the charger some electrical wizard here might have been able to calculate the charge time	Colpol (444)
1242242	2011-11-06 20:39:00	Have you checked the regional websites suppliers for AEG? Some of those sites have manuals, in ePaper format (e.g. the UK AEG Catalogue (www.aeg-powertools.co.uk)), and as PDF including some for discontinued models. The nail guns seem to be at The Austrailian site here. (www.aegpowertools.com.au/)The main original German company no longer supplies AEG Powertools, which are now under license to Electrolux and Techtronic Industries (www.ttigroup.com), who then sub license (including Ryobi) to various worldwide suppliers.
