Power Tools Battery Concerns.
 
Now the Winter months are here how many of you leave these in the garage or shed? I have a battery jump start pack, drills, Dremel and lots of other things like everyone else, should I bring these int the house to stop battery drainage? Just a thought as the workshop/shed isn't heated :shrug:

I do not tend to leave any power tools in the garden shed, I keep my Dremmel, rechargeable drill and other power tools in the understairs cupboard in the house. I think even if the batteries are not affected, the damp and cold probably does not do the tools any good.

Over many, many years I have left all this stuff in the garage and everything carries on working fine :}

You'd have to bring your car indoors too Steve. I don't think SWMBO would be impressed. :o

Make sure they have been fully charged then just check and charge them every 6 weeks or so. The cold will do no harm. Moisture will.---:xmas-smiley-032:

I think I may discretely hide them all at the back of the other half's wardrobe :shrug::getmecoat:
