Is your DeWalt FlexVolt Battery Not Charging or holding a state of charge? Simple Solution! DCB115

Is your DeWalt FlexVolt Battery Not Charging or holding a state of charge? Simple Solution in this video where many frustrated customers have returned their FlexVolt batteries and tools without realizing they weren't setting up the charger and battery together properly.

If only DeWalt had made that clear. I bought 2 12AH batteries and took them with the new chainsaw up several miles into the forest to clear some trees off of trails, only to have no working batteries for my chainsaw. Wasted many strenuous hours of my time. Even took my batteries and saw into the DeWalt service center and they gave me 2 new batteries (600.00 value!) which of course had the same problem. Thanks so much for posting this and finally helping me figure it out!

No need to press black button just give it a good push to feel/ hear it locked in.

This is not obvious out of the box and no instructions included with my new 6AH flexvolt battery. Thank you!

Bro i can’t thank you enough. I am usually very good at trouble shooting things. I just bought this exact battery and was about to return it. For those watching this and still having trouble, MAKE SURE you depress the release on the battery fully and do not let go until the battery is fully seated. Nothing is wrong with the battery. I was livid 10 mins ago as i just spent $170 on this battery

Game changer. Thank you. I have a dewalt leaf blower and weed eater. I even bought two new batteries. I was at my wits end and I knew it was something I was doing wrong. Thank you! Thank you.

Dude I have been waiting like 3 hours for the battery and i was driving me mad to see it didn't charge at all. Thanks a lot!

I was about to send my charger back and decided to come to YouTube first. 😂 Thank you.

I had similar issue on DCB112 with brand new 5Ah battery, thought they had given me some defect one. It's charging now - jesus what a simple fix, why didn't I think of trying that out :D Big thanks!

[tlroy]

Thanks for the info. After five hours of the new battery sitting in the charger, I figured out the same. Now, just waiting to see how long it will take to fully charge a 60V 6AH battery.

Thank you for making a video about this. After my pack died I started doing everything manually because it wouldn't charge. I was just searching to buy a replacement till something told me to look up a video about it. Thanks for creating this video.

[todddejong]

Thank you. Fixed my issue. I didn't know that I had to push the button in to lock it into the charger to charge. I appreciate your help.

Omg best video ever. Have two batt for lawn mower. Only one was doing this. But that was only cause one batt was a little tighter. thank you. Saved my whole day a swear.

[Bajansirneil]

Son of a gun. This has to be the most helpful youtube video ever.

[Shadowcat]

Seriously, they should put that information on the red cap that goes on the battery. I was about to buy a new charger. Thanks for this!

[alamer]

Thanks a lot! Have the same charger and bought the 9ah battery the other day. How long does it take to fully charge the battery with this 115 charger?

[Lo-cupv]

Thanks i was racking my brain on why it wasn't charging. Much appreciated

[charlesstover]

Boy, you just saved me from throwing a fit. Thanks!

[carloscervantes]

U saved me the biggest headache I’ve just tossed both of my 6ah flexvolt battery’s into the toolbox that I touch the least since I thought I needed some flexvolt specific charger, but the issue for me was that I would plug in the battery and the light would turn off

[andrewkennedy]

Thanks so much. I was trying more complicated solutions unnecessarily and getting rid of chargers unnecessarily. Thanks for helping!

[markpuccio]

Genius! Saved me from buying another battery. Thanks for the great tip.
