It's 14, so it's probably just decided that you're the worst and it hates you and leave it alone. -- nm - Baron the Bluenose Reinbear🐻 Dec 16, 15:58
see if you can get a reading on an Ohm meter (multimeter) from the two metal leads. here is a ink to a video. -- (link) - tRuMaN Dec 16, 15:55
I will counter. I enjoy having two battery packs in case I burn through the first. Plus, with two you would know if it is the battery or the drill. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 16, 15:48 2
- I mean I have like 16 battery packs at this point, cause a lot of times the tool is almost free with a battery (compared to the battery price) also - tRuMaN Dec 16, 16:02

You don't. Just replace it, a new battery's probably 2/3 the cost of a whole new drill. -- nm - Ender Dec 16, 15:24 2
- yes. I just checked. drills are under $50 and batteries start close to $20 -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 16, 16:05
