Dewalt ; 18v 1/2" Compact Drill Driver Dw959 - Page 8 Questions & Answers
I dropped my 20v Max DeWalt driver in a tank of water
Alan, remove battery, use compressed air blow to help remove water, dry it out the best you can, maybe let it bake in the sun for the day. Then place in a plastic bag with a couple pounds of rice, this will get rid of all moisture, seal in bag a couple days and give it a try. Good luck.

if the battery is older than 1 year replace the battery with a new one , also I know its difficult but try to not charge a battery till its dead , short cycle charging of battery's kills em fast if battery is less than 1yr contact Milwaukee its still under warranty
DCF826. How do I troubleshoot?
First inspect the brushholder slide connectors and the brown (purple or yellow) wires . from switch to brusholder they can become very bad after working with heavy load or wrong gear setting .
SPECIAL look for the right type 1 or 3 of this model it differs if you order for the model a switch if thats defect because its a dcf826 the wrong switch will not fitted for it . because of marketing technical decisions made over a period.
.
Observe always the battery connectors

DC B101 charger. Why doesn't it charge?
May be It can mean your LI ION battery is out of range by the deep discharged protection. !!! your charger is not defect and your battery also not in 80% of this cases you are certainly not the only one with this problem . i think your battery was or is new or for a long time not used have i right ? or it was long lay down in the stockroom by the store before it was selling as i know from experience it by the brand Hitachi its fast much allways going that way. in priority the little 10 volt batteries made of li-ion can have on stock for 5 years its out of range , but i send it back and for service they come back full loaded again and full of capacity. its fully under service and they know that problem, there are no costs as all people with Li Ion tools to sell should know this or asked by purchase by some companies to load it full before buying a new tool with li-ion batteries because it prevents a disappointment and a drive to the shop again.
Note to control it that way 80 % in case of this the charger is not defect ask someone or your dealer or friends to test that charger with a new or other functional or regular used Dewalt fitting li ion battery , then you know for shure that its realy not defect, but your battery can be boosted with a special cadex charger if its was little used but i have made in experienced an discovery (but only on Dewalt li ion batteries..because there are only 3 poles on Dewalt accu s to find its missing that special grooved protection circuits with multiple contacts inside on the li ion batteries as to find by all other regulary brands too find) used a simply auto charger 12 volts 4 amp placed + and - corresponding the pins + and - and for 20 seconds because its li-ion (always by unknown experiments wear safety glasses) under the load and repeat that 3 times on a 14,4 volt li ion battery and after i switched that battery fast after that short boost again in the original loader and if the lamp on the charger was again been continues red thats mean it was reborn new and accept its loading again in the official dewalt loader and it was be accepted from that time again without repeating the same problem after fully loading it again. its made me happy but only by Dewalt was this experiment functional simply + on + and - on -
Beware do not this on other brands like Panasonic Makita Hitachi or other Brands milwaukee to do this li ion action because its has no cure wasting not your time and do not experiment full on the separate cells it can made great explosions without electronic technical impossible because of complex protections that are marketing technical made ONLY by special CADEX chargers are used for it to boost it so it will be again fully functional again .
Li ION is not comparable with Nickel Cadmium or nickel metal hydride, the first must be trained for capacity and the second not but do not load nickel metal hydride batteries in the freezing cold most outside or in cellars the lasting life of that batteries is very short after that . the capaciti will loose and is not coming back and is very bad to boost., Nickel Cadmium is heavy and great instead of Nickel MH . and material is expensiver the only good improvement of NI MH is the weight and the building material, and no capacity memory if its used under normal temperatures. above 0 degrees .
Li-ION hold them as much on the charger change both fast after use will long last the life of the battery.
Dewalt DE9116 Type 2 c32 and fuse blown . what is the value of c32
A fuse blown ? measure always first the mosfet irf740 if thats not shorted that could be the cause of the defect in case ? or some of the 4 primary bridge diodes replace 1n5408 or by299 presumably c32 its a blue or black high-voltage capacitor .i don,t know for sure but lies in the expectations this is a repair suggestion that could be to find in some popular Dewalt chargers , and do a error research proof allways over a 200w lamp thats in serial with the loader power cable if you make error research to find the part that caused the problem. then you will not blow up parts again if the cause is not find in priority , but a variac and oscilloscope can also be used.
