Repair Preview
- Let the battery and charger reach room temperature, then seat the pack fully and observe the charger indication.
- Cross-test a known-good V20 battery in the original charger and the original battery in a known-good approved V20 charger.
- Replace only the proven failed external counterpart or use authorized service; never open the battery or charger.
- Remove the battery from the charger and inspect the pack, charger, cord, and contacts for liquid, swelling, cracks, melting, burning, or impact damage.
- Prove the outlet, plug in the charger directly, keep its vents clear, and dry-clean only accessible contacts.
