How does it do for putting a3" wood screw in a door jamb. Also, can the battery overheat in the charger?

I keep a battery on charge at work never overheated,it's been over 3mths now. This drill went thur the door frame with 3" wood screws with no problem I just put it through a test for you

I've driven 31/2" screws with mine with no problem. This drill has more power t6han you'd think. I've never had a problem with the battery getting hot either

Should work fine. I just used 3" screws to attach 5/4 deck boards to 2x6 joists. Also owners manual says the battery can stay in the charger from use to use without harming the battery.

For other screws I'd recommend a reverse screw, though these are so small.. perhaps that could end disastrously. Alternative methods are going to be a challenge because the screws are set so deeply. Have you tried stretching a thin rubber band or disposable glove material over the provided screwdriver tip for added grip? I'm curious as to how you stripped the stock screws! I've replaced my screen twice and disassembled my phone dozens of other times to manually charge my battery (while waiting for a replacement USB charging port), yet the involved screws are in near-perfect condition.

I'm not a battery expert, but you should really stick to the charging voltage and initial current they show on the battery. Overcurrent will certainly warm it up and it may leak or explode on you, or just shorten it's life.

Did not have a problem with the battery door. Maybe you might want to try a different brand of battery and see if that makes a difference.

Had my charger plugged in for a few days with a battery from a recently purchased yard sale 18-volt drill. The unit was warm to the touch, but not hot. I have charged other batteries and they were warm when removed. The charger changes to a solid light when the battery is charged, and I usually remove it at that time. If it's getting really warm, I'd try a different battery if possible. If same result, then I would contact vendor or B&D; as a warranty issue.

It does have an overcharge safety, but I'd never advise leaving these types of batteries in any charger for more time that it takes to charge them, let alone days or weeks. You're just asking for trouble in that scenario.

I would say NO!!! Could damage charger and possable damage to yourself. Contact Black and Decker for help.

I don't recall any problem with the battery door. It's pretty simple unless it is broken. The directions are helpful.

I bought the spare battery for my Black & Decker tree lopper (a chain-saw tool with big scissor handles). It slides on an off the tool with a catch. The recharger plugs in the wall receptable and a little pad slides onto the battery and catches. My drills are DeWalt...so I know nothing about B&D; drill motors.

Anywhere on the wall where screws, which hold it, can be used. I further suggest it be installed near the kitchen and about 1 1/2 foot above your height so that you are able to see the green light flashing which tells you the unit is still charged and battery is still OK.

I agree that it isn't the most trivial thing to do but perhaps it is this way by design so you don't need a screwdriver (in addition to your hammer). Install the battery door by inserting it on a slight angle with the arrows pointing toward the front wheels. The door slides horizontally on top of 10 tiny plastic nubs (5 on each side) that are in the battery compartment. With the door flush, slide it backwards towards the slot in the rear of the compartment. I find it easier to do if I apply a little pressure to the large clip while sliding it into the slot. Good luck!

certainly. the quick disconnect plate is quite small (3x4mm) and once attached won't block the battery door.

It a little thicker than the original but it works fine untill you charge it with the old batteries charger and thwn it will burn out like mine....... try to get the right charger for it too.

No as long as you put the two screws in everything works fine. I had battery warehouse do it for free as they had the little tork driver that is needed. Hope that answers your question.

The battery that came with the unit is corroded and my husband has to look for one and has difficulty in finding the right size. He got one which was a little bit small and difficult to install. SBaker answer was right according to my husband but be careful in removing the screw.

This is a BATTERY, not a charger. The battery will only fit the charger it is designed for, due to some mechanical structure, which can be "modified" if you are hand.

I don't know. It's pre-installed & I didn't save the little sheet of paper it came with. I'd have to take it apart to find out (just needs a tiny screw driver like the kind used for glasses or in Allen wrench sets) but it looks like the same size opening as the battery in a digital meat thermometer, if that's any help. It said it will blast away for 30 minutes if left on. Sorry I can't do better than that.
