Anyone got a spare Bosch 18V charger, or, want a cheap drill? - SV650.org

I got myself a nice Bosch drill last year on the assumption it'd last for years, but my garage got a bit flooded in the winter and the charger got soaked

Not covered under warranty naturally as it's damage not wear and tear. Spare chargers are expensive- about £40 and upwards for the 18V one- so unless I can find a cheap one it makes more sense to get another tool with the same charger, or to get rid of this one and get another drill full stop (see: Sexy Makita drill on offer in B&Q thread)

So... Anyone got a suitable charger they're not using, perhaps because of owning lots of drills? Or alternatively, anyone got an 18V Bosch charger and wants a cheap drill in good condition with battery?

If you look on ebay you can occasionally find factory refurbished Bosch tools, batteries, and chargers. If no one steps up that's where I'd start. I'd love to take it off your hands but the weak dollar and int'l shipping would kill my wallet.

Yeah, I've been watching Ebay... Though that's a terrible temptation because I end up looking at better ones
