kdl721 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi, I got two new lithium nano batteries and charger that come with a kit. When I plug them in after short use, the charger flashes quickly (indicating replace pack), if I remove the battery and plug it right back in again, the charger then works normally. So far this happen twice in a row, always after short usage. It happens for both batteries. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? Should I get both batteries and charger replace? Thanks.

kanxrus Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hopefully someone from Dewalt on here reads your question and has a good answer because I have the same problem. My 3rd generation XRP Lithium battery does not seem to share that same problem. Not really sure why. They should all be the exact same. By 3rd generation I mean exterior change. See photo below. I think it's a weight issue, if I drop the battery on slow and push the battery all the way down I don't run into that issue near as often. If I drop the battery on fast and light, the red light flashes 10 times and then goes into fast flash mode telling me to replace the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdl721 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Mine are 3rd gen batteries, dated 2008. Since I just bought these, I think I'll get the replace to see if it help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I am not sure replacing them will solve the problem. Try making sure that the battery is pushed all the way down. That's all I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdl721 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Yeah, I don't have high hope it'll fix the problem. But Dewalt need to get notice of this. No better way than to cost them some money processing returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdl721 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 FYI. I received another set and experienced the same problem. I think now the problem has to do with recharging an almost fully charged battery. But that's just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madtec Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 The issue is not with any gen battery, the software for the charger has a glitch, the problem were addressed and solved........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
