I'd like to convert a coreless string trimmer (18 Volt B&D GrassHog) to wired A/C. I know this seems counter-productive, but I'm beyond sick of this POS. It always was underpowered and barely provided enough charge to finish the yard (even with 2 batteries). This is just the second season of owning, and now the batteries will not provide more than 5 minutes run-time combined. I can safely do the conversion; however, any thoughts/advice are greatly appreciated. Also, any thoughts on trying something with the batteries first (18v nicad)? They never seemed to hold their charge without just keeping them on the charger, and they take about 4+ hours to fully charge.
