Battery Not ChargingUpdated 4 hours ago

A battery that won't charge is one of the most common issues encountered by cordless tool users.


Possible Causes

  • Faulty charger
  • Damaged power lead
  • Dirty battery contacts
  • Battery temperature outside the charging range
  • Internal battery fault

Resolution

  • Ensure the charger is connected to a working power supply.
  • Remove and reinsert the battery securely.
  • Check the charger for indicator light errors.
  • Clean battery terminals using a soft, dry cloth.
  • Allow hot or cold batteries to return to room temperature before charging.
  • Test the charger with another compatible battery if available.

If the battery still fails to charge, it may have reached the end of its service life.
