You can take a drill bit around the same diameter as the head of the screw and drill the head out. It will get to a certain point and then break off. once you then seperate the housing you can take needle nose pliers and twist the rest of the screw out.

This will be a suggestion...but for mine I bought two 18650 LiFePo4 cells (3.7V each) and replaced the original NiCd Batteries. It has been working for many years now, since the original batteries expired and stop working in 2002 (I bought the CD 1000 back in 1994!!!!!). You have to use a special charger for the new ones but they stay charged a lot more and the drill has more torque.

hi, have you seen this ? https://support.blackanddecker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012702998-If-my-battery-is-not-charging-what-can-I-try-#:~:text=If%20your%20battery%20is%20not,charger%20to%20try%20charging%20again. Now i don't think that's the issue , it more likely the cells won't take a charger or the bms electronic board has failed , with those battery packs it can be a electronics problem or a failed cell , One thing you might want to check is the actual connection to the battery pack..i seen a issue here where there is a bad connection , the charger won't charge regards Rob

With that being said, be advised that leaving the screwdriver on the charger after fully charged may overcharge it and also shorten its battery life. Therefore, it is recommended to unplug the unit from the charger after charging.
