You should be able to drill at a low speed. Maybe 100-200 rpm. I assume the bit is sharp. I have run into an ocassional new bit that is bad. If it suddenly stops drilling you may have hit a rock. Crack the rock with a center punch then continue drilling.
chances are that your batteries are shot. If you do some searching in your local city, see if there is company that will rebuild battery packs for your drill. The packs are around 1/2 to 2/3 the cost of a new pack and they will have better batteries in them. The manufacturer does not put the best grade of batteries in their equipment. So a rebuild is stronger and will last longer.
The battery isn't any good. The charger is just going through it's regular steps. (I know how it is. I just bought two Ryobi 18 volt batteries for my Ryobi cordless drill, reciprocating saw, flashlight, trim circular saw, combo set. $60 for two batteries)
