Tips about Recharging A Newly Purchased AEG Cordless Drill Battery

When that new AEG Cordless Drill Battery arrives at your door, the last thing you'd ever expect to NOT do would be charge it. There's no way around it, a dead battery can't be used without first charging it. Sometimes though, the world falls on it's head when a new battery pack for some unexplainable reason doesn't want to charge, for those that have had the pleasure of encountering a new pack that refused to cooperate, well... you know what I am talking about..

Most companies will never send fully charged batteries in the mail. Shipping a fully charged pack is a potential liability to them, and in this sue-or-be-sued type world we live in, companies really have to minimize risk any way they can. Most companies battle this by shipping packs with a zero to near-nothing charge. What little battery life you do find on a new battery is likely to be a 'test charge' used for their integrity tests.

A pack that does come with a small amount of charge may disagree with the charger you are using. Strangely enough, some chargers consider them to be full rather than empty. You too may have encountered this before. The charging light would turn on, but as quick as it had come on, it would turn off.

This problem is a pretty simple fix. Before putting it back into the charger, put the pack on your drill and run it down a bit. This has reportedly worked for many people who have had this issue with a charging a new pack, and hopefully, it works for you too should you encounter the same problem!
