I have bought Dewalt 20V DCB107 drilling machine with 2 batteries. Both batteries are not charging first time itself. The charger red light constantly lighting but not blinking

I DON'T KNOW. COULD BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR FREE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE RYOBI AND UPDATED ITEMS. THEY HAVE 3 CHARGERS 2 SMALLER RATED CHARGERS WOULD NOT GIVE ME
'FULL CHARGED' LIGHT. OLD BATTERIES WOULD NOT CHARGE ON OLDER CHARGER. FROM INTERNET ADVICE, I REPEATEDLY PLUG AND UNPLUG CHARGER BY HAVING PLUG LOOSE WHEN DOING THIS. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 4 TIMES TO CHANGE FROM DEFECTIVE TO CHARGE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 20 TIMES TO SEE THE CHARGE LIGHT.
tip

Cordless power tools

To maximize your battery life let them cool down 15 minutes before you put them on the charger.Also let them cool down after charging before use for 15 minutes.Store your batteries with a full charge and condition them every month by using them a little bit and return them to the charger for a full charge.

I had to replace my old jobemate 12v battery. With the new one I put it in the charger, but after 16h the red light is still on ..... is there an issue with the battery .... I no longer have the manual

If it is a Lithium battery, the charger will have a tester built into it that will show a problem if there is one. Let it charge for a couple of days to see if will ever show a full charge.

How to charge a makita battery

remove the battery from drill and insert into the charger, the red charge light should come on and then after about an hour it should change to green indicating a full charge, there is a lable on the charger to indicate other problems that might occur. Let me know if you need more assistance.

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.

Lithium-ion battery will not charge, drill has not been used for a couple of months so placed on charge for most of yesterday, battery no life at all. Regards Chris

I think you've already come to this conclusion, so I'll affirm, you need a new battery.

Something that may be worth trying, if you haven't already, find something a little abrasive and try to really scrub the contacts on the drill, and in the charger, ( obviously you'll want to make sure the charger is unplugged.)

Good luck!

The drill has stopped charging up. No obvious

It may be the charger, but most likely the battery can no longer hold a charge. This may happen if the battery drops below its holding charge. Example, left discharge for a couple months. There is little that can go wrong with a charger unless you start smelling burnt plastic from it.

Had new batteries and a service 6 months ago. Has now been left standing for a couple of months. I charged it up last night, but nothing. The charger appears to be working, lights working. Any ideas

Yes your batteries have dropped below 9 vlt each and they wont chage using your charger. Yuo must take a car battery charger and charge each battery up to at least 11vlts for your charger to charge! This ought to work if batteries have only been sitting a couple of mths . When using a car charger set charge at 6-10 amps for about 45mins to 1hr then hook up chair charger and you should be ok
