What we will do if the lithium battery is drained completely? Can it be recharged or a new battery is required?

When the battery is drained you can recharge it. You cannot take the battery out of the drill so there would not be an easy way to replace it.

You very well could be right about using the lithium batteries. I will try that before I write it off. Thanks!

Check the battery with a voltage meter. A fully charged lithium-ion battery should have a voltage of 4.2V right after your charger says it's fully charged. Make sure you are using the right type of battery. Only lithium-ion batteries can be recharged. Regular 3v lithium batteries sold in a store are not rechargeable and can be dangerous if you try to recharge them. A good working rechargeable Lithium-ion battery should have around 3.6 or 3.7 nominal voltage (meaning that after the battery ran out of juice and left alone for 5 ~ 10 minutes) and measures 4.2v when fully charged. If not, most likely the battery is bad. If the battery is OK, then you might have a defective charger. Check the battery with a voltage meter.

be sure to turn the "on" switch on the back of the battery. Mine went un-recharged for several months, but worked fine when I needed it.

> Mine has been unplugged for months. I have yet to charge the battery since first receiving itYou really need to read up on safe handling of lithium-ion batteries. They'll still light up a LED when drained down to where the cells begin to be damaged, and the damage -- crystals slowly growing in the chemistry -- takes a while before it becomes obvious. You do know what "obvious" means for damaged lithium-ion cells, don't you? https://www.google.com/search?q=battery+university+lithium+ion+safety

The battery might just be fully charged. That was the case with mine.Use the battery a bit then plug it back into the charger. Make sure the charger is plugged into the USB port.

That is what we did and battery would not charge after only a few months. I do not know if letting it completely discharge before recharging and not storing it in its built-in storage bracket will help. Electrolux is absolutely no help with this, nor with replacement parts or service.

Agree with last few responses about using freshly charged battery. If not helpful, turn on light, then unscrew while on and remove battery. And leave out for several minutes. Then replace but use fresh lithium CR123s . If still no good contact Terralux and ask for replacement.

I'd start with a new battery....and since it has a memory you will need to let it run all the down in order to get a full charge and then leave on the charger about 3 hours maximum time.

Do not leave it plugged in! I did and my battery is now dead. It turns out to be VERY expensive to change the battery b/c you must send it back to the manufacturer to do so. There are some good tips here on preserving the battery life that I really wish I had known beforehand. I'm currently trying to decide if it is worthwhile to replace the battery or not.http://1866uselady.com/show.php/en/online_store_2

Let the battery discharge itself by unplugging the 110V Power Source from the computer and let the computer drain the battery until it shuts down. (Busy yourself while this is happening) After this, Plug in the power source again and allow the battery to recharge itself. (with or without the computer operating) If the battery does not reach 100%/98% in a reasonable time, contact HP for a new battery

The information I received stated that you can do just that. The battery is a lithium ion and when the charger has completely charged it a light indicates it is full and in standby. I have been using mine for months and love it. Hope this helps and remember amazon has free return policy if you're not happy.

Take out old battery, put in ankler, discharge battery by turning on everything, when it is 0 recharge till full, repeat and rinse

It is not rechargeable. Once its drained, its dead. The alarm system draws off the battery only when the wired power source goes down for whatever reason. Unfortunately ig either sat and discharged or was defective and not able to hold a charge. Batteries will go bad if they have been sitting for too long.

No just use it until the lights go out then recharge, it's an ion battery, so it's best to drain it then charge to full.Love mine it have saved me a ton of headaches.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up for me. But I'm kinda worried that they aren't replaceable. I've seen a few batteries die completely in a state where they aren't even rechargeable anymore. I hope these lithium batteries last if you can't replace them.

I know if you leave it plugged in all the time it can end up ruining the battery. But if that is not the case then I would contact the manufacturer.
