Anyone care to guess how much current this will need to run as well as if it had the NiCad battery.
I can not find anything relating to current or power for the driver or the NiCad battery on the manufactures web site. The one thing I do know is the battery pack has 15 sub "C" sized NiCad cells in it.
Typical NICAD sub C can be anywhere between 1800 and 2200 mAH. So it becomes a matter of seeing how the battery pack you have is configured. That would be my guess.
Yeah, but it is a nickel–metal hydride cell, and not a NICAD battery. I believe 4pyros is looking to substitute a NICAD battery pack using a mains supply. Hell of a battery though.
I saved one of the battery case for my Ryobi 18 v drill and rigged it so I could hook it to my 20 amp power supply, 20 amps is not nearly enough when you start needing torque, so I would guess a 40 amp @ 18 volts supply might work.
