Some Tips on Recharging A New Delta Cordless Drill Battery

When your newDelta Cordless Drill Battery arrives in your mailbox, 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. Although, for some mixed up crazy reason common sense isn't always right, for those that have had the pleasure of encountering a new pack that refused to cooperate, well... you know what I am talking about..

You rarely will ever see a company ship charged drill batteries through 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.

At times, packs with a 'test charge' in them will refuse to charge for some stupid reason. People have reported cases of drill battery chargers refusing to charge new packs. You too may have encountered this before. The charging light would turn on, but then it would turn off as if the pack were fully charged.

The solution to this problem is fairly simple. Put the pack on your drill, run it down, and then put it back into the charger. 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!
