My ryobi 14.4 v cordless, when i put the battery in the charger the yellow and green light both stay on and does not charge. this happens with both chargers and battery packs

If i have this striaght two chargers and the green and yellow lights are on and the batterys will not charge and there 14.4v batterys correct . Then the batterys must be no good unless bolth chargers are bad and have the same problem witch is exterimly unlikely. most likely the batterys and are NG.They don't do well if left in cold condutions or hot for that matter but cold is worse . 14.4 V is is an unasul size and if its not a lithuim ion battery its going to be obisilete and unavaible soon if not already . Ihad the same problem with my RYOBI 7.2 volt can't get the batterys for under a 100 dollars thats one and a speical order i paid 39 dollars for the gun and 2 batterys . They make the money off resale on batterys . And you can do far better then RYOBI for a screw gun now a days

It sounds like your battery is bad. If yellow and green are on for more than 15 minutes it probably a defective battery pack. See page 8 in the manual.

Yellow / green light will not go off when charging

Its likely the batteries will take at least several hours to fully charge, if not more. NiCad batteries are slow charging and usually need 4-6 hours for a full charge. Keep them on longer or even overnight but make sure you remove them in the morning. You will probably find the light turns green after 4-6 hours of charging. If lights stay yellow and green after 12 hours of charging, it may indicate a fault in the battery itself where it will not accept a charge.

Charger not charging

Just was on a website for Ryobi drills and it states that if the yellow and green light stay on for more than 15 minutes the battery is fried. Couldn't find the link but if you do a search for Ryobi Drill 18 volt you should find the same info. It was as product review from Australia I think.

I also have a problem with the charging of Ryobi batterys. They seem to charge AOK with the green light coming on but the charge does not last at all. Not sure if the problem is with the batteries on the charger.

I had the same problem and found a solution on another forum...
Plug the battery into the charger. The yellow and green lights come on. Leave the battery plugged into the charger. Plug and unplug the charger power cord from it's power source a few times until the the red charger light comes on..... problem solved!

I think the "smart" circuit in the charger that is supposed to trickle charge before the regular charge cycle needs at least some battery power to test and start the cycle. If the battery is totally discharged, the test can't deternine the battery status and will not charge.... Plugging and unplugging the charger seems to bypass this teat and charge the battery normally. The charging process should work normally after this method.

took about a dozen plug in's and almost gave up... then RED LIGHT! thanks! you just saved my drill from the trash heap!
Anonymous Sep 25, 2012

Thank you. This worked! I was about to purchase new battery or charger. I found that keeping the plug close to the receptacle then quickly making contact then pulling the plug away quickly resulted in a red light status with three repetitions on the procedure.

Thanks for this solution. I plugged into a switched outlet and flicked the switch a couple of times and voila, battery is now charging.

Thanks also. I have had this drill for so long, I have forgotten the standard charge light configuration. I also don't use it everyday. Or month for that matter.

Anyway, after the light being amber for 12 hours (I presumed that it was just a trickle charge) I tried your technique. I had to rapidly pop the 110 connection in and out multiple times. But it is now red.

1canfixit's solution worked like a charm. I have two batteries that were stuck around 4.5 VDC and wouldn't charge so my logic was that I needed a new charger. Thanks for sharing your solution as this saved me some real $$$. ...Tom
