Hello,

I've got a Ryobi 12 volt DC drill-driver (model CD100) and battery pack (model CB120N) which I bought whilst living in America. I recently moved back to the UK and unfortunately the battery charger that came with the drill (model no. C120N) does not work using a standard 2-pin-to-3-pin travel plug adapter (nb. which works for a laptop I bought in America).

The operating instructions for the drill battery pack and charger state that the power supply must be 120 volts, AC only, 60Hz. And the specs for the American charger I have are as follows: Input AC 120V 60Hz 7W; Output DC 15V 200mA.

I can't afford to shell out for a new drill. Can anyone recommend a low-cost product to help me charge the battery for my American drill in the UK? I'm not sure if I need a new adaptor, charger or a transformer, and if so, which one to buy.  

I contacted Ryobi over a week ago via the 'contact us' section on their website and haven't received a response yet.  I also called their customer care line, but they just referred me to one of their service agents and then their parts supplier - neither of whom stocked or could recommend a suitable product.  

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

i am a self confessed ryobi nut lol and i have never seen that sort off contact on a uk spec tool battery
