Probably the brushes need replacing on the drill. Order new ones from a Dewalt parts dealer on-line.

Does battry have to cool down before charging?Dewalt DC920KA Heavy Duty Xrp 18V Cordless

Yes, when a battery is being used for a long time, you need to let it cool down and take it to charged. Although there is many fast charger now, but in order to protect the battery, I recommend you to buy a second battery for replace.

And, if you do not know where to find the right one? Here is some suggestion for your Dewalt DC920KA Battery

I bought new batteries for ,my dewalt dw958 drill and when I put the battery in, the drill ran for about 45 seconds then started to smoke and the drill died. The batteries are dewalt 18v xrp batteris

I am thinking the switch or motor is bad, check the switch first. you can locate parts at dewaltservicenet.com. Make a wiring diagram before removing anything, these parts are polarity sensitive.

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.

I have a 12v xrp cordless drill. in the past 6 months i have purchase 3 new batteries. none will hold a charge. what is the problem.

You may want to try a different charger base. Any way you can borrow one so you don't have to purchase first?
If for some reason the charger isn't working well, you may be getting a partial charge and only that.

You may even want to rent a cordless just to try charging your own battery on a different base.
before you buy.

Part # of the Voltage Regulator in Dewalt Drill

The part number for the switch is 152274-19 . Dewalt doesn't sell the individual parts for the trigger assembly. It really depends on the manufacturer of the trigger at the time of production. You should be able to locate a company name on the side of the trigger switch assembly. It may be Marquardt. I am unaware of any way to order individual parts for these type switches. If you find a source please post.
