20 Most Recent Black & Decker 18 Volt Cordless Drill Driver W/ Charger Questions & Answers

Normally when it will no longer hold a charge, that is, no matter how long you charge it, the battery goes flat very quickly. This happens sooner with Ni-Cad batteries than with Li-Ion.

If it is jammed then hold the bit in a vice and try to knock the chuck off with a cold chisel or suitable piece of brass. then you can remove the chuck screw and replace the chuck. You should not be able to see the bearings underneath.

if it went to pieces when you dropped it, I'll just bet a manual won't help you, I'm thinking a case of super glue.

what is wrong with the battery, if is the battery cells generally home user cannot repair them, if it is the housing some mfr's sell replacement housings, let me know and I will go from there

It may be the charger, but most likely the battery can no longer hold a charge. This may happen if the battery drops below its holding charge. Example, left discharge for a couple months. There is little that can go wrong with a charger unless you start smelling burnt plastic from it.

The battery is dead, and the charger will not not charge it. You need to purchase a new battery.

you must open the chuck all the way and the screw is in the back inside the chuck this is a left screw which means its righty loosey and lefty tighty; unlike normal righty tighty and lefty loosey.

Good for you---stand up for your consumer rights!

Time to crack it open and have a look at the brushes at the back of the motor, they may be worn down to nothing or contaminated with something that spilled on the drill.

I would contact the nearest service center and buy some new brushes for they are very inexpensive.

You should probably contact Customer Service regarding this. I'd say it's a problem with the batteries rather than the chargers considering this looks like a recent EPC model - 1800 444 224

if you have one check the battery and charger with a meter. if there both fine check the prong's on the battery and the power tool. if charger is'nt charging check the fuss in the charger.. good luck let me know.

Check Home-Depot. I bought my charger there
for about $ 30.-. There is also a cute Combination of AM/FM Radio/Charger on the
Market, specifically for 18V Batterypacks.

Try using a large wrench to turn the chuck. It may loosen enough to release the bit

The motor does not go in reverse.

This will be a suggestion...but for mine I bought two 18650 LiFePo4 cells (3.7V each) and replaced the original NiCd Batteries. It has been working for many years now, since the original batteries expired and stop working in 2002 (I bought the CD 1000 back in 1994!!!!!). You have to use a special charger for the new ones but they stay charged a lot more and the drill has more torque.

hi, have you seen this ? https://support.blackanddecker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012702998-If-my-battery-is-not-charging-what-can-I-try-#:~:text=If%20your%20battery%20is%20not,charger%20to%20try%20charging%20again. Now i don't think that's the issue , it more likely the cells won't take a charger or the bms electronic board has failed , with those battery packs it can be a electronics problem or a failed cell , One thing you might want to check is the actual connection to the battery pack..i seen a issue here where there is a bad connection , the charger won't charge regards Rob
