Dewalt Battery Won't Charge / Charger Has No Lights Simple Fix

Dewalt 20v 60v Flex Volt Black Decker Ryobi

THIS WORKED FOR ME!! I didn't have a battery jump starter and read in the comments here someone tried a regular 9v battery...like the kind that goes in a smoke detector... So I also tried a 9v battery with the razer blades and my dcb203 battery is now charging! I threw away at least 4 relatively new batteries recently with the same issue.. I bet all of them could have been jump started like this. THANK YOU !!!

You're right, it's amazing that this needs to be done. Both my 20v batteries stopped charging, no light on the charger. I contacted Dewalt and, to their credit, they were easy to deal with and sent me a new charger. When that didn't work, it was clear to me that it was the battery that was the problem, not the charger. I had even gone to Lowe's and bought another charger, that I was able to return when it didn't help. Thanks for the vid. The batteries are charging right now!

just tried this with a 12v car battery charger and it works, my dewalt battery now charges. Thanks for the upload.

Watched this and circumstances identical new battery, charger, and just wasn’t used yet. Just went thru very cold weather here in Texas and battery was in truck. Did not really think it would work didn’t seem logical to have to jump start it. Used dimes and IT WORKED - started charging and took a full charge. Totally impressed! Thank You!

Thanks a lot for sharing this information. Had a Dewalt battery fail on second charge. Jumped it with a 12v motorcycle battery as you showed. Sparked and is now charing on charger. Excellent! Thanks again!!

I can’t tell you how much this helped me. I just purchased a DeWalt cordless screwdriver for $100 bucks. It came with two batteries, a charger and tool bag so obviously a deal only problem is, the batteries wouldn’t charge.

I brought it home and attempted to charge them for three hours and nothing. I found this video and tried it with a battery from a drill I have that does work and presto... the batteries are both now charging.

You are a genius. Thank you. I’ll let you know if I get a full charge and a general update.

This worked for me…THANK YOU! 8 month old battery barely used. I suspect it does not like being completely drained, mine was powering the Dewalt inflator airing up an extremely low set of tires. Died while trying to air up the last one. I used my Schumacher battery charger set to 40a, just gave it a quick tap to get a tiny spark. Charging fine now.

Wow, you've just saved me load of cash my friend. I jumped the battery using four blades, two in each of my batteries and it worked straight away. Thanks for the tip .

I had 5 batteries that would not charge and there was no light on the charger. I tried it and it worked perfectly, thank you

[WolfTank-ho]

Hello, thank you very much, because I regretted my $280 purchase because the battery does not charge. I followed your video and it worked. Great, thank you again

[garrettoliver]

Never mind I read some of the other comments and took a stab at it hoping I didn’t fry my 250$ batteries. But it’s worked great. Finally some good info on YouTube that WORKS!!!! Nice thanks again.

You're a lifesaver, my DeWalt charger would not light up, no led light on battery either, gave it a jumpstart with my portable AA charger, sorted 😊👍 battery now charging.

I love you, man. Hooked my dead battery to my truck using jumper cables. Worked a treat! Thanks!

Fixed two 5h dewalt batteries with no light, thank you so much

[JayTroful]

Did this with a trickle charger, battery is on the charger and charging now. Thank you!

[gnicevids]

It worked great for me I use the battery charger/Maintenance with prong or the circle things and place them in the same locations as you and voila it work once I place it on the dewalt charger.

[Creeds-Creations]

Thanks I had a dead 60v Dewalt battery and this worked. Light did not even turn on when checking battery level. Now it works! What I did is that I connected to portable car battery charger left it for 5 minutes and then I connected it the charger and it started charging.

[flunder]

You saved my battery. I followed this right down to the blades lol. Amazing. easy. Set the booster to 50 amps boost, touched the + three times and now life is perfecto. Thanks very much!

[skeetlybeet]
