My bad, I’m sorry. I’ve just figured out what was happening. I simply wasn’t pushing the battery pack hard enough into the charger. I was just sliding the battery pack into place in the charger. I assumed that because the charger’s LED’s were lighting up, that I had done it correctly. I didn’t realize that you have to push the battery pack until it actually clicks into place in the charger. It’s all working fine now.

DeWalt 3.0AH batteries not charging. Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I have two 3.0AH DeWalt 18v batteries (model DCB187) and a DCB113 charger. These all came with a DeWalt 18 hammer drill. I just can’t get either of the batteries to charge. I’ve had them for about 18 months, but I’ve hardly used them. When I put them in the charger, the left LED flashes for a couple of seconds as though it’s charging, then the right hand yellow LED comes on as though there’s a pre-heating issue. Then the left-hand LED goes solid red, as though the battery is fully charged. But when I check the charge indicator on the batteries themselves, one of them only has 1 of the 3 LED’s lit, and the other has none lit and is completely dead. Does anybody know what I’m doing wrong?
