Post by: TColt on July 26, 2010, 03:41:10 pm
Anybody used the DC-40 yet? Interested if they have any bugs that need to be worked out? Im very interested in the charger, the DC-30's chargers are a major pain!

The late model DC-30 are not bad at all. They have slotted contacts instead of round ones.

I cover mine with electrical tape also, and I have the later slotted model of the DC30 but they just dont connect the way I think they should for the money I paid. Apparently they have fixed that with the DC 40 though... just what i have heard.

Dont get me wrong, I have had my DC30 for a long time, and love it, and had no problems except for the charger, but its been on a rcd and been beat to hell so it might be time for an upgrade if the DC 40's work the way they are spose to. The other DC30's we have are brand new. Old ones quit workin and they sent us brand new ones.

I put the contacts to the back, not so much dirt getting pushed in there. Less chance of getting hit.
