I have a Dewalt 12V cordless drill. It has been great for all my uses around the home. It originally came with 2 batteries, and now after a couple of years it seems they have lost some power. So I bought a new "XRP" battery ($50) which seemed expensive - but I am really happy with it. It seems to hold the charge indefinitely and is extremely powerful.

One thing I have had trouble with is the battery charger. I thought these chargers were supposed to time the charge and then maintain the charge. (At least that's what the manual stated.) Well I discovered that if I left the battery in the charger too long the battery actually lost the charge. I started having to watch the clock and manually pull the battery off the charger after a couple of hours.

So I bought a new charger for about $90 and had the same problem. So I returned the new charger and still watch the clock when I charge my batteries. Anyone out there ever experience this problem with Dewalt chargers? Is there something I am missing here?
