New bright 19.2v nicd battery problem
I have purchased 2 remote controlled toy cars from Costco over the years. These New Bright batteris and charges last only a few charges, and then they go bad. I am disappointed. I will go to Walmart and buy a new battery and see if it works better, if not, i will return to Walmart.

I bought a new brighton toy christmas train set at
If says 187 on the box, check out this solution:
This train set is very particular and getting it to work each Christmas is a family tradition in frustration. First you must make sure that all the pieces of track are connected properly and that the track is perfectly symmetrical and flat. We double-check the battery positions every year and find one in wrong. There are + and - signs, but they're hard to see; use a flashlight. There is a black toggle switch below and behind the red stack that toggles forward (to make the train go forward) and backwards (reverse); straight out perpendicular to the train is the "stop" position. Also, you have to start at a stop/switch station. One other note: behind the red stack, there is a smaller black stack. If you turn this, you can make smoke come out of the stack. I think I remember someone suggesting a drop of cooking oil. Hope this helps!!! Hope you get it set up for Christmas!!!
Runs for a bit, then stops
Unfortunately the failure can be occuring in several places on this train. The wall power supply, the track command connector, the Treetop Tender or the loco itself.
The REALLY bad news is that New Bright does NOT offer any repair service or replacement parts for thier product. After the 60 day replacement warranty it either works or goes in the garbage.
However.. when the train stops, try taking a volt meter set to measure DC and place one lead on one the inside of the track and one on the outside of the track. You should be reading about 10.5V DC. (flip the leads if it comes out -10.5V)
If the you still have power on the track, then problem is in the treee top tender or the loco itself.
Look on the treetop tender between the wheels. there is an electric motor brush located between each of the wheel pairs. Make sure that they are making contact with the track. This is where the cars and the loco get thier power from the track.
These wear out pretty quick and once again, there are no replacements available.

New bright 19.2v nicd battery problem
Don't throw away any NiCd power tool battery, Firestorm or Versapakbattery that does not hold a charge or does not give you the power youneed, you can get new life from your battery or device that containsNiCd batteries. icad batteries often die in such a way that they won't take a chargeand have zero voltage. This usually means they are shorted out bycrystal dendrite growth. You Can fix these shorted crystal dendrites by
"Revitalization through Vaporization of Dendrites (RVD) Process".
