My cordless drill has lost all it's mojo! A freshly charged battery only lasts for a few turns of the chuck - then dies.
The charger seems to be working properly. It flashes whilst charging then stays lit to indicate a full charge after about 40 minutes.
Also, when I attempt to turn the chuck, it's very stiff.
I'm anxious to know whether it's the charger, the battery or the drill itself so I can get the right fix.
Thanks!
Hi first make sure the bearings are not seize up if it ok
get new battery
SOURCE: changing a drill chuck
If this is a cordless drill open chuck jaws and remove the retaining screw (LH trheads), switch the clutch to drill only and shift gear selector to low. Insert a bent handle allen wrench about the same size as chuck (to keep from flexing) put chuck on workbench or block of wood and have the wrench about 30 degrees and strike the key counterclockwise to remove. You might have to hit a couple times but usually they will loosen up quickly. To install just reverse above. Let me know if I can help further.

Put the screw back in the chuck, tighten it up then back it out 1 turn. Take a punch, put it in the chuck and give it a quick hit with a hammer. That should do the trick.

if chuck is wide open ,look down inside there should be an allen screw or bolt at the bottom of the chuck it should undo anti clocwise and the chuck comes off

I'd put penetrating oil in it and tap the chuck with a plastic hammer. That should free it up.
