Tammyjhonson Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 My first drill was Black and Decker and this is my 2nd one. The 1st I've had for about 6 years and have used to drill, bore, screw, furniture, and hammer drill thousands of times and it still works. Recently purchased a DeWalt XRP Cordless Drill after using 2 years my batteries are shot so the drill smokes when using. Need a solution.

JimboS1ice Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Bad batteries won’t smoke the drill, most likely the brushes need to be replaced. What’s the model number of the drill?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Honestly though, 2 years so the NiCad batteries are shot, needs new brushes...I'd consider tossing out the old tech drill and buying into a lithium battery platform. I wouldn't recommend something high end but a home owner, DIY grade tool or a reconditioned drill would work. Reconditioned compact brushed Milwaukee drill and impact driver, two batteries, bag and charger run about $120 on sale. The M12 brushed set is like $100 and is probably about as powerful as his Dewalt XRP. A replacement battery and brushes for his drill will be like $80. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmsfrnksn Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Jim is right here bad batteries won’t smoke it may be the brushes, Why don't you try changing the batteries and that will give you the confirmation o whether batteries are the real problem or brushes. I have recently come across the batteries for your model here http://amzn.to/2hIhkbD I am also sharing a 20% OFF code for you ( FP3YYHB3 ) If you want to buy the batteries. I am new here and excited to help everyone as much as possible preferably for woodworking tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
