One reason for being here is your original battery died due to a brain dead charger that overcharged your batteries to death. The other and more likely reason is simply that you treated them poorly (and NiCd's are "sensitive" batteries). Here's a few reminders about caring properly for any NiCd battery: 1) Heat is an enemy, 2) Overcharging is bad, 3) Don't let them lie around fully charged for more than a couple weeks, instead run them out and then store in the freezer with a dessicant (and then make sure you run them dry after a warm up and full charge ... 10 hours in a smart conditioning charger could help some as well).So, you may need to replace your charger (as Robert has long suggested) - check the model number (the discontinued DEWALT DW9116 7.2-Volt to 18-Volt Pod Style 1 Hour Battery Charger is cheaper than the newer but even more clever DEWALT DC9310 7.2 -Volt-18 -Volt 1 Hour Charger). With a charger that can sense when the batteries are fully charged and an owner that provides proper care, this battery should last for decades.Otherwise, these are good (abet a bit expensive - and why only 4 stars) batteries. Now, a lithium-ion battery would provide more constant power - rather than dying off at the end like this one - and wouldn't have the memory problem at all (if only such a thing existed).Oh, and don't be fooled by a DW9072 (this is a DW9071). The difference is a 1.3 amp battery vs a 2.4 amp battery (or something worth only half as much). But, I would recommend a DW9072 (like Pwr+ 12v 3000mah Ni-mh Replacement for Dewalt 2832k (Cordless Saws) Dewalt 2800 Dc Dw Series Power Tools Battery ; P/n 152250-27 397745-01 Dc9071 De9037 De9071 De9074 De9075 Dw9071 Dw9072) over the DW1214 recommended by others with the DW9072 being another 12-volt rather than a 14-volt battery (for those trying to save money for projects under an hour) as my drill runs hot enough as it is.See all 2 customer reviews...
