Cooper Battery Wire Wrap Tool

[Norm Dresner]

Cooper Battery Wire Wrap Tool Model 27610 AD7 (Backforce). (Apparently)
The battery has died and I'd like to replace it with a wall wart DC source.
Can someone tell me that the nominal battery voltage should be.


TIA

Why not just replace the battery? Probably cheaper than buying a wall
xformer and it remains portable.

I've got a whole draw full of wall warts. I'm hoping that one of them is
the right voltage. And yes, I could buy another battery but not as quickly
as I could wire a wall wart to use as an interim power source.

Ummmm how many batteries are in the tool? If they are NiCads, then you
figure 1.2V per cell. If alkalines, figure 1.5V per cell. As I remember,
my OK wrap gun used 2 NiCad cells, thus the voltage needed to spin the bit
was 2.4V. It could use either NiCad or alkaline cells, so voltage wasn't
that critical... just don't get carried away.
There ya go...

It's one huge (~7") sealed unit. I have no idea what's inside. The charger
unit takes a wall-wart and it says that it wants a maximum input of 5V.
4.5V battery is a logical probability. I know that I can just start at ~3V
and ramp up until it operated correctly. I was simply hoping that someone
_knew_ what the voltage was.
