Mkcheznous Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 I am new to dewalt so advice would be helpful. I just bought a dewalt drill kit with a dcb115 charger and 4ah batteries. When i charge a battery the charger gets very hot to touch. I can pick it up like a hot cup of coffee. It does not burn but is this normal?

method Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 This is normal when you charge high capacity batteries as from memory this doesn't have a cooling fan. I had the same issues with my old Milwaukee charger and the 9 & 12ah batteries. Even with the new charger it gets hot. I use the DeWalt fast chargers only now and have no issues. The Milwaukee and DeWalt would get so hot the batteries would stop charging and I worried something would catch fire one day 🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
