bobviolence Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I got a 2-pack of DC9096 batteries for Christmas to replace my aging ones (specific model # unknown as I already threw the old ones out recycled them). Put either of the DC9096 batteries into my DW9116 charger, and after a minute or so I get the fast blink to replace the pack. Did I get a pack of bad batteries, is my charger messed up, or are they just not compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorb8881393434512 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sounds like a bad pack of batteries to me. What are the date codes on top of the batteries? for example: 201345 45 being the week of a 52 week year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobviolence Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Date is 201339 ... so they are not that old. I read in another forum posting that I can take the batteries to a local DeWalt service center and swap them for new ones. Is this still true?

If you're near a service center, take your batteries AND your charger to be tested. I am guessing that your charger may be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobviolence Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Following up ... Took the charger and two batteries to the local DeWalt service center, and all tested fine. Even plugged in the charger with each of the batteries, and could not reproduce the fast-blink issue. Got everything back home, and all seems to work fine. At this point, it's a mystery as to why I got the initial fast-blink. Maybe the act of me unplugging the charger to take it to the service center and then plugging it back in reset it?
