Battery Charger

[Chris Parks]

Today I was head down, bum up in a job I have been trying to dodge for twelve months and the battery went flat in my C12 drill. When I went to the charger to get the spare battery I found it hadn't charged and was still flat and the red light was blinking. I tried the other battery which had just gone flat with the same red blinking light and a few appropriate words said not so quietly. Just what I needed, the missus wanting the job done and two flat batteries and no charger. I was just about to kick the charger into touch when I though about it a bit more and switched the power off, let it rest a bit and turned it back on. The bloody thing worked! Has anyone else experienced this?

This is actually in the instructions on one of my drill chargers and from memory it says to do that when starting every recharge.

That is the first time it has been turned off in about four years.
