I bought a used picrel blower recently and it's been working great, crazy strong, literally stronger than some gas blowers I've used, until I put fully charged batteries in it. it has a slider for adjusting power and a turbo button, which worked without problems on batteries without a single bar and lower charges, but when I put fully charged ones, it kept turning off half a second after engaging the turbo mode. when I discharged the batteries a bit it started to work normally again. seems like some surge protection or something.I'm not even sure if it's a design issue or something wrong with the particular item I have, because there's not a lot discussion online about the brand, which is popular only in Europe (also has some rebrands, like Ozito in Australia ).Is it fixable? I really don't want to return it, because I liked it a lot and got it in a bid twice as cheap as they usually sell for and a new one costs almost as much as Makita 36 or 40V blowers while being from a budget brand, so there's no point.

>>2889622Is it brushed or brushless? If it’s brushless, then there’s probably a circuit board in there that’s fried and the whole assembly will be coated in crap and cost as much as a new blower. Id it’s brushed, there’s not much to go wrong besides the trigger, whatever the turbo button does, and the battery itself.If you pull it apart to start testing, i would get a meter on the battery terminals and make sure the battery isn’t cutting out when you pull the trigger on turbo and there’s a big load.
