Hot drill gets really hot . even the handle & battery

18 volt battery charger will give out 20 to 22 volts. and drop off while charging. to around 19 volts. its just finding the right amps. as this is the most important part. these can very from 3 to 20 amps. some cheap chargers are 1 or 2 amps and can take up to 8 hrs to charge a battery. as an even a charger that says 18 volts at 8 amps or 6 amps should be fine. really depends on the manufacture setup.

Hi Alice:
Is this a "key"? If so, put it in place with the drill pointing up and the key handle pointing level and towards you. A light tap with a hammer on the key handle should loosen it.
If it is a "manual grip", try putting the drill in reverse, and at low speed. Hold the drill handle with your right hand, and hold the grip firmly (really firmly) with your left hand, and squeeze the trigger. It should release the chuck. If it doesn't, try putting a pipe wrench on the grip.... gun facing away from you, wrench from the top, handle on right. gently tap on the wrench handle should loosen it.
Cheers.

this picture of the drill is familiar or similar to a "skill" made drill
talk with a service agent for skill, B&D woulf machines and you may get a cross match or even a handle from a failed drill

It really depends which version handle you need but look through ebay or alibaba for replacement luggage handles as a starting point and find a style that looks like it will fit your amp and then drill down from there.

Dose this happen with all batterys or just one battery . If its one the battery is no good. If this all batterys you try to use then there is a short in the motor in the gun likely in the windings and it was defective when you bought it. check your warranty

The drive motor and/or battery pack overheated and blew open a circuit. The only "repair" would be to replace which part(s) failed or replace the entire tool.

Hi,

Yes, they will get hot... that is normal...if they get too hot the charger will shut down and give and error flash...

battery start smoking & get very hot as soon as put in drill 925dc

As long as the charger voltage and the battery voltage match (7 volts) there should be no problem. A fast charger just runs more current thru the battery (per unit time) than a not-so-fast charger. If you notice the battery getting really hot when it's charging (like too hot to touch), stop using it.

buy a small on board battery charger/maintainer its cheaper and they provide enough current and they do make them in 6 volt models
