The battery on this Drill/Driver isn't designed to be charged continuously, it will fail(go bad) if you do this. Which unfortunately sounds like what happened in this situation. It could also be the charger that failed. Either way, this does not sound like a cheap and easy fix. The batteries were cheaper 2 years ago, I did not need to buy a replacement battery for my drill/driver up to this point.

is it the plug in with jack that plugs in to handle or the ps1mvc multi voltage charger? ps1mvc charger works better for me. small charger that come with drill,has a tendency to get hot and burn up. also if battery is over 1 1/2 years old they go bad ,batterys can go bad if you use them a lot of not.

Mine is over a year old and still going strong. I charge it for a half day or so and use it off and on until it starts to loose power ...then back on the chager for abiut another day. Most rechargble tools should not be pluged up all the time and it is best to let the batteries drain to low before recharging.

I would call the manufacturer. It sounds like something is wrong with the unit. Mine worked immediately with no issues, and I did NOT charge it before use....just plugged it right in and it worked. Sorry!!

If the light on the front is off, then it is not charging. Check your power cord.

Did you try draining the battery all the way down to 0 % power? That was one of the things it said to do in the instructions if it doesn't charge properly. I actually did do that and it was fine after. It can take awhile to go down to no power though. if you did do that then, I'm not sure.

make sure it is charged. if it is, contact the company and they will repair it free of charge. i had a problem with mine not charging and sent it back. they fixed it and i've not had a problem since.

Make sure you're using the input USB. Should charge automatically. You only have to turn the power on to use the device for charging purposes.

Maybe you need to keep it connected until it is fully charged then remove the cable. give it a try .. if that is still not working then it is a problem.

make sure you have the battery in the charger in the right direction, I ha mine pluged in overnight. The battery stays charged for a long time

I got the "not charging" message quite a few time. I unplugged it and tried again.. Then it worked. Not well. But it worked.

I called the Samsung company, and he told me to keep it plugged in the wall, and eventually it was a steady light and it started to charge. I let it charge for a while and it was totally charged. So try this before you go out and buy a new battery.

I do not know what the problem might be in your laptop. But if the battery is fully charged & plugged in, it will not charge (since it does not need to). If the battery is not charged and does not charge when plugged in, I would contact the seller.

Try charging again. Make sure you have charger hooked up right. Sometimes charger is bad.

Make sure its fully charged. I only figures this out after testing it out and seeing very short videos of the test. I know there has been some complaints of malfunctioning, but mine works fine.

There should be a little blue light that comes on on the bottom that let's you know that it's charging. If the light isn't coming on, but it's charging maybe it blew out? Otherwise, I'd contact the company. They're really approachable. :)

I had trouble with mine not charging as well. Contact the seller and exchange it.

Make sure it's fully charged and use the on off switch opposite side of where you charge it. I hope this helps.

Sounds like you might have a dud...if your outlet is on. Bad power supply or something in the charging process...
