Houston we have a problem
Update on my below original review...So I used my Dewalt drill with my original Dewalt battery, drained it down and put it on the charger slot. Immediately the battery blinked as the replabatterues I bought here on EBAY. My conclusion is that these new batteries somehow burned out my charger making it useless....So I took it one stem further. I looked at the bottom of my charger. It's stampings on the plastic undercarriage state that it's a Li-Ion charger like the new 🔋 batteries are. So that matches up okay. Next 60 Hz on charger nothing on batteries, but seems insignificant. Next original Dewalt battery is 1.5 ah ( Amp hour). The replacement battery is a 3.0 ah battery, so twice the ah as original battery.Original Dewalt battery is DCB120. Replacement battery is DCB120, so they match up.. So my only guess is because the replacement battery is two times the Amp hour rating at 3.0 and that during the course of the charging the charger burned ours it was very warm. With original Dewalt batteries unit never got hot or even warm when charging. So now I have 3 batteries, one original, and two new replacement batteries I can use because I can't charge them, because my charger is somehow burned out. Now I have to buy a new charger and out note money, and I'm stnot sure these two replacement batteries are or were any good from the beginning..andddd now I got a 12v drill and mini seawall I can't use.... Guess I'll have to contact seller to try and remedy this FUBAR
I ordered two of these based on all the great reviews. Like many reviews, I ordered the batteries that were yellow and looked like original Dewalt batteries and got red and black ones...No biggie for me as long as the unit works. So I put the first one on my Dewalt DCB100 charger prior to first use...which by the way matches up with description of charging units these aftermarket batteries work on. The charger was blinking on/off red in the normal charging fashion for about 15-20 minutes, like a 💓 normal hearbeat. Then all of a sudden it was like a military 🪖 double quick step blinking faster than twice or three times of normal indicating something was wrong, indicating a faulty battery or charger. My charger was fully functional up until this charging time, so I know the unit was charging and performing correctly. So I then removed the first battery from the charger and put the 2nd new battery on its charging slot and instantly the red light was blinking rapidly indicating a problem. So I'm thinking is it possible I hot two brand new replacement batteries and they are both bad...or did the first battery while charging corrupt my charger. My OEM Dewalt charger is a DCB100 which these batteries are supposed to work on as indicated in the listing of charger units these batteries work in. Now my dilemma is do I return the batteries for and exchange. I know my charger was working as I had charged my original Dewalt battery earlier in the day....or is my charger now done for because of the first battery scrambling up my chargers brain....my final test before I return these batteries is to drain my original battery thru use, then throw it on the charger and see if it charges, charges normal and the red light blinks as normal.....Anyone experienced this scenario, let me know.
