the 20V battery has lots of play (slop) when placed in the cradle of my brand new DCB101 charger. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes the battery in the charging cradle needs on to fiddle with it...in order for the terminals to connect properly. It is a bit of a pain, but it could be worse....the battery charger for my camera.

It could have been designed better but an issue. Just line it up and slide it in.

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I would suggest attaching it to the charger one more time to see if you can get it to charge. Otherwise I would return it for an exchange. I bought an extra battery and have had no problems with the charging of either one.

I have two of the boats, so I have two chargers. The charging of the batteries is a bit clunky. Sometimes I will take what I think is a fully charged battery and as soon as it hits the water the remote starts beeping indicating a low battery. The boat runs fast and for a long time, so I'm pretty sure the low battery signal is flawed. Other times, the battery is fully charged and only lasts a short time. Sorry, that is no help, but your charger may be working fine and the boat/remote are acting weird...Happy boating.

Rick, I had one my LP-E6 not play too nicely at first, and it would not even really provide a state of a percentage of load. However after awhile, I got my charger a few months ago, every battery charges and plays nice; both Original Canon and non Canon Batteries. Try reseating the platform where the batteries connect to, and see if that changes it any.

i think you should start with trying another charger. since its a micro-usb port it shouldnt be too much of a problem finding one. you should also try different sockets... the electrical output may differ a little bit. if the problem still persists, i assume its the battery. try discharging it and (however) charge it again up to 100%. your next option would be buying another battery... good luck!

Had my charger plugged in for a few days with a battery from a recently purchased yard sale 18-volt drill. The unit was warm to the touch, but not hot. I have charged other batteries and they were warm when removed. The charger changes to a solid light when the battery is charged, and I usually remove it at that time. If it's getting really warm, I'd try a different battery if possible. If same result, then I would contact vendor or B&D as a warranty issue.

No, that's not normal at all, it sounds like you have a really bad battery. If you are using the rechargeable lithium ion batteries that comes with it, then you probably have one that has gone bad, I would stop using it immediately, and certainly don't try to recharge it.

I have not experienced that, so i would guess there is a problem with the battery or your charger. I know that chargers can damage a battery, so you might check that.

I have been doing that for years & never had a problem. I have a new charger with a setting for AGM batteries & use that now.

YES,NO PROBLEM THERE.You might have a problem with one of the Batteries,Ihave to put a rubber band around it while it charges.

My Schumacher charger would let the battery drop to less than 50% without restarting. I believe there is a fault with the unit's processor. Schumacher support would not respond to my requests for a remedy. The remedy is to return it before the money back guarantee expires.

My husband did the same thing. He called customer service and they said that if you leave it in the cradle to charge everyday, it will do that. It is how the battery was designed. There is absolutely nothing that can be done to fix it so they replaced his for free, but now we can't purchase good replacement heads for it because Norelco cheapened those up too.

I have had that a couple of times and my solution was to remove the back plate and make sure the charging contacts are fullyy engaged. In my specific case I have the charging pad mounted to the underside of my back plate not to the battery. Ive also bent the snout of the charging pad (where the contacts are located) away from the underside of the back plate so when mounting the back plate the contacts can line up better. This is not necessary if youve taped the charging plate to the battery. If youve taped the charging plate to the battery and your confident the charging contacts are fully engaged then I would look to the

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.

There is a charging light that stays on while the battery is charging; the 'maximum charging' light does not stay on the entire time on mine, and mine works fine. So - maybe you should have yours checked out or return it..

Sorry, I can't shed any light on the subject, Brian. After ordering the charger I discovered the problem was with my battery not the charger - I returned the charger I purchased through Amazon. My battery had run too low to be charged using any charger. I had to take it to a golf cart service store and they got it up and running for me. The charger I had was perfectly OK.

I had the same thing happen. Unplug and use system to deplete power and then recharge. May take a couple uses but mine bounced right back and recharges fine now. Also holds a longer charge now. The more you use it, the better it seems to perform.
