@Green not sure, all I know is the straps from the 6200 fit perfectly on the 20v model.

Thanks. These appear to be part 6-8182. The one I linked was 6-8181. Wonder what the difference is.

The Chapin 6-8175 Shut-off Assembly w/Gauge would tell you what your operating pressure is - it looks like it would be a direct swap.

They sell just the gauge too, but the whole assembly is only ~$1 more.

I assume the gauge comes off the trigger if you buy them together?

Add me to the list...

I saw some black pieces in my tube today. How do you get them out?

for those of you who have added the dfw wand to your chapin sprayer, how are you keeping the wand/sprayer handle attached to the tank when you are storing it. The wand that came w/ the sprayer would fit snug in the groove on the lid but the dfw style wand is smaller in diameter and slides right out.

[Green]

Ok, now my pressure has dropped too low even with a fully charged battery and 1.5 gallons in it. Even flipping it upside down doesn't always resolve it.

@Green did you check the filters? Mainly the one at the wand?

@mha2345 if you want a 20v Chapin, yes that the right one.

Not since that started. Thanks for the idea.

The wand one was fairly clogged...bunch of black stuff and a piece of grass. Other one was fine. Hopefully that'll help.

A few small pieces of stuff in that filter makes a huge difference.

Yes. Now that it's out, it seems to work again. Thanks.

I bought one of these sprayers in 2016 around Memorial Day IIRC. After a spray session that summer or the next... I forgot to remove the battery for a few days, maybe a week or 10 days. Battery won't take a charge. I called Chapin and they told me never leave the battery in the sprayer, always remove it and keep it in the charger. They also sent me a replacement battery.

Fast forward to today, I read @Ware''s battery revival on page 2... I still have that dead battery in my "to be disposed of" box. I pulled it out, hooked it up to one of my Ryobi 18V batteries and presto it came back to life! :banana: :dancenana: :banana:

I have a couple of other lithium batteries in that box that I am trying the Lazarus trick on.

 

[Green]

Wow. Never leave the battery attached?

 

[StarRaider]

You can leave the battery in the sprayer while you are using, filling, etc. Maybe even a day or so. The Chapin lady told me even though the sprayer is "off" there is still a power drain (likely from the pressure sensors but I am speculating here). I try and remove the battery as soon as I am done, but there are still times that I forget and leave the battery in the sprayer for several hours after I am done. I usually have a panic attack when I realize I left it in and pray for no blinking red light when I put the batt in the charger.

The Chapin customer service is first rate.

I used my sprayer earlier this month and as soon as I was done with my yard, it quit. I threw it on the charger and it started to take a charge but when I went back to it later it had the blinking red light of death.

I store the battery in my office drawer and only sprayed 6 full refills over a 2 or 3 weekends on a full charge but I think that was just long enough to permanently damage it. I've tried jumping it with a good battery (+ to + and - to -) but it's stuck at 15V. Not sure what the minimum the charger will accept but I didn't think this was that low. I wonder if something else went bad inside of the battery.

The battery was 2 years old and Chapin wouldn't get back to me about a warranty replacement so I bought a bootleg off eBay for $15. The bootleg works great so far and is a 2.5Ah instead of the 1.5Ah B&D. Supposedly has a 5 year warranty too. Time will tell how it holds up and if the eBay seller will still be around in 5 years if I need to try to cash in on the warranty. I can't complain for the price. Has anyone else tried these eBay batteries? How do they hold up?

Since Chapin never responded I contacted Black and Decker and they sent me a new battery under warranty. I was originally thinking of alternating between the two batteries but I think I'm going to keep the new B&D battery in my drawer until the eBay one dies. I don't have any other B&D tools.

Had some trouble with my sprayer this morning. Apparently I had some leak in the "control area". The black box underneath that houses the pump etc.

Here is what I found.



This piece, anyone know what it is and is it needed? Had some corrosion but i cut it out and spliced the wires back together and it works fine. M





Pump just doesn't cycle or shut off like it used to so I am thinking some type of capacitor or fuse based on the markings.

Anyway, thanks for any input!

How are you adding the TeeJet to these tips on the 20V? I haven't seen a TeeJet in person, but I am not picturing how it would work.

Note there will be a rubber washer behind the nozzle that needs to be re-installed.
