Ni-Cd Batteries

barnbuilder | Posted in Tools for Home Building on

I did as the suggestions in previous posts said regarding replacing the Ni-Cd Batteries in my old 12V bosch drill.  However, the new batteries work, but they will not take a rapid 1 hour charge.  Is this usually the case on the 1st charge with new batteries?  Or did I use the wrong batteries for the charger?
