Both of my plug-in batteries show green on the recharge indicator but one does not work at all in the drill & the other one runs very weak/low. Is there a limit how many times that you can recharge these battery packs?

The cordless drills I have purchased even good ones like Ryobi lasted about three years The drills will work good but the batteries go dead after a while. My Ryobi I keep one battery charging in my charger all the time but before you do this check your manual to make sure its ok. I change batteries every two weeks when not in use all the time. I never have a run down battery that way.

Batteries do go bad. They sorta die on an age and number of charges basis. I have several sets of DeWalt 18 volt tools. Comes to a total of 8 batteries. I always write the date purchased on the battery. Well, since last December both of my 2006 batteries went bad. I expect the 2007 batteries will go bad this year sometime.

With the NiCad batteries, they are good for a certain number of charges. Which is one reason to run the battery down till it begins to affect performance of the tool. Don't "top off' the charge by putting a battery that is not worn down in a charger, cause you effectively use up one more charge.

I have never had batteries last much more than 2 and a half years.

Now, the Lithium batteries are supposed to have fixed all that --

Why have I got a red light on the bottom of my shaver when I am using it

It is common for many Braun shavers, that if the indicator light flashes red while the shaver is being used (switched on and running), it means the battery is low and needs to be charged soon.

Below is an example from a manual for a Braun model 7526 shaver. You can search that site for other manuals if this is not the correct one.

This model shaver has 3 indicator lights:
1) Green (Charging)
2) Red (Low battery)
3) Blue (Power cord attached and plugged into the wall)

Download the manual for the model 7526 here: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/20281/Braun-5301.html#manual

"The green charging light shows that the
shaver is being charged. When the rechargeable
battery is fully charged, the charging light
flashes or goes off.

If later on, the charging light comes on
again, this indicates that the shaver is
being recharged to maintain its full
capacity.

The red low-charge light flashes when the
battery capacity has dropped below 20%,
provided the shaver is switched on. The
remaining capacity will then be sufficient
for 2 to 3 shaves."

Are all the Lithium batteries working like this. Mine work for a short time then stop dead. Wait a while then they will work again. Really a pain when you are working trying to do somthing and have to run...

I use the Ryobi Li-Ion tools the L-I batteries will cut off when they get to a low charge level this is to protect the batteries Li-Ion batteries life span is shortened when fullt discharged so when the tool suddenly stops put the battery on charge,also if the battery has a charge indicator light for a more accurite idea of the charge (green is charged,red discharged) hold the test button on then run the tool the light may go from green to red if it does that shows the the charge is about depleted if the light stays green you have a little run time left.

I've got a Bosch ps30 drill that uses bat411

Directions say green light indicates that the battery is fast charging only,it does not indicate at exact point of full charge. I let my batteries charge for 12 hours for the first time charging,found out myself the same way. Try that and you will notice the difference.

Re: DeWalt 18V XRP Cordless Drill Driver. Should performance of the drill slow as battery becomes weaker? My drill works fine for quite some time then suddenly loses all power, even the light won't...

Yes. It's kind of like a flashlight when your batteries get low the light get dim, but if you replace the batteries light gets bright again. The drill will get weak as battery get low.

My black and decker kc1882f 18volt drill battery will not recharge whenever plugged in it shows battery full ,and when used only as weak power

Hi the problem is with the cells in the battery what happens is the cells go bad and then dont hold the charge this then causes the battery to seem full when its actually nearly flat, all you need to do if you want to keep using it is get the battery replaced

replacing the battery with a new one will solve your problem
