If no permanent damage has been done to your battery, you may be able to improve its run-time.The correct procedure for charging your batteries is as follows:
- Discharge the battery under normal use. Remove the battery, once you feel a loss of power from the tool. Do not tape the trigger ON.
- Let the battery sit out of the charger for a least 2 hours until the battery is at room temperature.
- Place the battery in the charger overnight to allow for a full charge on each individual cell (A minimum of 8 hours at room temperature).
If there is no difference in run-time, there is either permanent damage or the battery has reached the end of its usable life. In either case, the battery should be replaced.

??? The manual says (said?) to remove the battery from the charger as soon as the indicator light is a solid color (not blinking) to avoid overcharging???
I hope you change the manual instructions!
