The product, in the report: Battery for Cordless Power Drill
I regularly charge my drill batteries when they are completely drained. I own a Dewalt 18v battery for my DC970K-2 drill. When i plugged my battery in over night which I do all the time and sometimes leave it in for weeks, but this time i left it in for less than 20 hours and when my father arrived home the smell of smoke was throughout the house. No body was home and if my father wouldn’t of came home, I would of probably received a phone call for NY’s Bravest, FDNY. Thankfully the charger was on a power pack and my dad quickly located it. Once everything cooled down the battery was melted in half and the charger doesn’t work no longer. I have contacted Dewalt and they have yet to have gotten back to me. I contacted them again saying the same thing and this time they sent me a survey about customer service that I never received!!!
