Folks,

One of the batteries for my 6-month old Bosch drill/driver set won't take a charge now....put the battery on the charger and the green light flashes in error. Sounds like the battery is knackered? It's only been recharged 3-4 times so it's odd.

Anyone know what might be wrong with a Li-Ion battery to error like this? Also, what are Screwfix like for returns on stuff like this?

Thanks!

Have to say Screwfix are pretty good when i have had to return things.

Give them a call

Thanks J.....I'll do that next week. I'm not going to shell out £25 for a new one!

Faulty Cells in Battery but there are other factors like leaving tools in below freezing conditions or not using for a while Batterys are wimps they dont like the cold ive had a bosh drill driver for over 6 years and only now is the charge starting to fade admittadly dosent get used like a joiner may use it but its had some hammer

They'll just collect the old one and deliver a new one mate, at least thats what they did when my chuck rusted.
