WM12 Parts Info

[phoenix]

The 7000 has been out for 4 years now and my original WM12 is taking forever to charge. Somewhere on Steves forums is a parts list for the WM12 and I have no idea how to find it.  Could somebody put up a link to the parts list please.   Thanks. Dave

The WM12 is easy to disassemble - four TT10 Torx screws. Click for larger views...

Thanks for that JW and Steve. It took me a while to find the battery on Ebay. This seller is apparently in Australia but the name of the store is Battery UK.    Anyway, where ever the battery is coming from, I bought one.? Dave

On ya folks, many thanks, must get one, mines still going AOK but it is due, 4 years of reliable use, aie where would we be without Lithium batteries, Ebay and Steve . Another top China source for lots of stuff, especially electronics, kits etc... Banggood, names a bit off, bit dearer but good reliable service usually 2-3 weeks delivery.

hey Simon  . Yeh mate i`ll let you know how it goes.  Estimated delivery is 3 days to 3 weeks which kind of tells me it`s not being posted from Australia. The test for me will be how long it takes to charge. I run twin WM12`s and the newer one charges in about a quarter of the time the older one takes.    And look as I might, I could not find the genuine thing in any google search. It`s bound to be there somewhere but I couldn`t find it.  Dave

That will be a good indication Phoenix. 

If it is 3 days it came from China.  

If it takes 3 weeks then it was definitely sent from within Australia via Aus Post  ?
