I had to basically tear off my balck plastic battery case to get to it but after I replaced the connector with one I found on an old charger I had in a box it worked great. Trend is now back online .

Mine came today. I ordered it late Friday afternoon from AllPro. They processed and shipped the order Monday, and UPS ground delivered in less than 48 hours. Battery is charging so I can try it out tomorrow, with that Purpleheart I've got. Then the Walnut.

I will probably check with the battery place next week to see if they can duplicate it.

Friday I'm helping to take down 2-3 Osage Orange trees. Yes I get first dibbs on the wood. 8)

As soon as I can I am also going to go to a battery store and see if they can make me a new set of them. I am also jealous about the osage orange trees.

Anybody with the problem with Airshield batteries not staying plugged into the charger; Contact Terry Cole with Trend-USA at 270-872-4674. Just leave him a message and he will call you back. I just talked to him on the phone again today. They had a problem with a new battery supplier when they shifted from Ni-Cad's to NiMH. A lot of defective battery packs may still be out there, and they are trying to make good on them. Replacement cost will depend on how long you have had the Airshield. If it is fairly new....Free, like mine.

I got my Triton at the Overland Park Symposium from Klingspor this summer for 214. Best price on any of these types. This morning I notice the Craft Supply has it as a front page special for 199.

If you have a NiMH battery with a light colored label with black lettering, it is one of the defective ones and eligible for replacement. If it has a black label with light lettering, it is one of the new ones, and they work great. JimQ
