yes, they sell it here on Amazon. I had the same issue, but just buying another drill was $7 more than the charger. So now I have two drills and works out better because if I am working on a project and one starts getting low, I have the other ready to go.

I bought that battery and I'm using the Black & Decker BDFC240 charger. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00362FFUE/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is working well for me. I don't have your drill, but I use this battery for a B&D weed whacker and a hedge trimmer.

yes, its really nice, for small jobs, its a small drill and it only comes with one bit, but it has both a flat screwdriver head or if you flip it over a phillips head, and it does come with a charger , the battery is internal . I just used mine for a quick job and had to look, I think if the battery went bad a some point it would be probably cheaper to buy another, but for small jobs, i really like it

To get the warranty, register the batteries. The original batteries for my drill were replaced because one wouldn't charge (went through Home Depot where i bought the drills). I bought two replacements because i lost one of the original replacements.

I had to buy the screw gun to get the charger. Not sure it is available any more. Check with Black & Decker or EBay? Hope this helped.

I have been on the web site and the rights to the tool have not been able to locate an extra battery or a charger for the tool. You can try by going their web site, which is listed when you log into Amazon and look for their tool. It's a little frustrating. I also noted that the prices has doubled since I bought our took last fall. Good luck. I'm actually trying to find a compatible battery from another business, but have been unable to do so thus far.

Yes, I bought one just like this to replace the original charger that came with my driver & drill. So far it has worked extremely well and would recommend it.

Mine was good. It was not initially charged but it charged up fine and it holds a charge OK so I didn't have to buy a new drill. If yours will not hold a charge, then that is a problem.

The battery and charger SB18BL1. Just buy new drill with battery and charger it's cheaper

No. I leave mine plugged in all the time and i doesn't seem to damage anything. i've used my drill for over 8 years and it still works great!! I love it so much I bought a second drill. I lost my charger on a job site and ordered this charger to replace the lost one. Neither the drills or the chargers have worn out and my battery holds a charge a very long time. LOVE this product!!

Cecelia: PLEASE SEE MESSAGE BELOW FIRST! PS: According to the page at the URL I left in the first post, (The product info page,) this battery FITS YOUR DRILL yes. I copied the "972's" to here: "DW972, DW972B, DW972K, DW972K-2, DW972KQ-2, DW972KS-2, DW972RLK2" If nothing is down in the hole in the charger the batteries fit into, then I suspect you DON'T have the original charger! Somehow? OR... possibly the contacts are bent? (small metal "posts" on the battery that make electrical contact) The drill has 4 "tabs" that are pretty "forgiving" if a contact on the battery is bent... the charger, not so much! Hope something here helps! Joe

I don't think so. I know the charger has an indicator though. I use my drill everyday and the battery lasts a long time.

you can buy other batteries....and I would assume you can get a new charger....I would complain to the place you purchased it....mine is probably 4 years old....I have two batteries, so I constantly swap the batteries in the charger...

I gave the one I bought as a gift to a friend, who has drill and impact, he has had no problems charging his.. If you still have your old battery compare them to make sure they match up. Or see if friend has a charger to try. Otherwise I would see about returning it, it may be defective.

I can't remember. Sorry. I had an older craftsman drill - worked great - charger just went bad and there were NO replacements for it that worked. Check serial numbers on battery to the serial number on the charger to see if they are compatible. I finally ended up going to Sears where the salesman said my drill was too old and they didn't make charger for it anymore.

Michael,I bought a 7.2volt B& D at a garage sale without a charger. The charger recommended for this drill was on the B&D; site whichnI bought through Amazon and it works fine. I didn't find my receipt to verify the part number.
