You guys know a whole lot more about this than I so please help.
The charger is a DeWalt 18v. The other day I pulled one battery down using the jig saw. I pulled the battery and, along with the other battery, began a recharge. One battery charged for about 4 hours which is historically a long time. I sapped batteries and the second one charged for 10 hours. I both cases, the indicator lamp on the charger kept flashing indicating that full charge wasn't achieved. Using my old analog VOM, I read 21-22v on both batteries. The charger appears to be putting out 27v. I'm afraid of overcharge and fire at this point.
Thoughts on how to proceed?
Thanks in advance.
