BATTERY SEATS BUT WILL NOT STAY LATCHED
BATTERY WILL NOT CHARGE
BATTERY WILL NOT SEAT, LATCH, OR RELEASE
The battery reaches the normal seated position, but the release latch does not retain it and the pack can slide away without pressing the release button.
The drill or battery smokes, leaks, swells, melts, smells burnt, sparks violently, or exposes wiring.
Battery or charger feels warm
The battery will not insert fully, click into place, remain retained, or release normally.
Latched battery will not release
The Battery Will Not Install, Latch, Or Release From The Saw
The battery will not slide fully into the handle, lock in place, stay retained, or release normally.
The Battery Will Not Charge Or The Charger Shows A Delay Or Problem State
Battery Runtime Is Much Shorter Than Before After A Normal Full Charge
Main battery becomes unusually hot during light use
The battery will not slide fully into the handle, stay retained, or release normally.
The tool, pack, or charger becomes unusually hot, or protection repeatedly stops operation.
A charged, latched battery and normal trigger command produce no chuck rotation.
A secure straight bit and clear work do not eliminate harsh no-load sound or vibration.
A straight bit stays clamped but rotates off-center, or the chuck body has visible play.
Chuck clicks while tightening
The chuck opens and closes, but the bit slips, pulls out, or ejects during normal work.
