Black and Decker LDX 120C: Black and Decker 20 volt Battery wont charge

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 16:36:02 -0700

I have 2 Black & Decker 20 volt "Matrix" batteries.

During another household project, I used the battery as a power supply for something else. Low draw, was not getting hot. Discharged down to 17 volts. Now when I plug it in, charger just shows "bad battery".

Another just shows "bad battery" on the charger when I plug it in. It's practically new but I have no insight on that one.

Anyone familiar with how these opperate that might have a fix at least for the first one? My suspision is that somehow the battery knows it was used for something it should not have been. If that's the case...can it be reset?

Same problem with older 18 volt "Firestorm" battery. This could be age...but every battery (3) shows bad?

DeWalt DC970: What's the biggest 20V pack that can be SAFELY run?

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 00:54:35 -0700

I have a DeWalt DC970 from years ago and no batteries as they are dead. That said, I have primarily moved to 20V tools but this drill still works just fine; I just cannot buy the original batteries as they were discontinued being NiCd 18V. The batteries have long since been scrapped and were discontinued in 2021. I have XR and Atomic 20V tools as well as one standard non XR saw I keep as a backup to the XR saw. I once had two packs and the drill was shipped with 1.2Ah batteries but I know DEWALT sold 4Ah NiCds at one point too.

Despite having the higher end tools, I still want to keep this one around for jobs I do not want to run my good XR drill on. I have the DCA1820 and 4x 5Ah packs (18650-based) and 2 PowerStacks (5Ah/1.7Ah), so I am wondering what the sweet spot for the older 18V tools is. I did look into a brushless 20V entry level drill on sale for the batteries, but I looked into that years ago before I got 6 20V batteries. I don't think that plan makes as much sense now unless I get some insane deal on a 20V Brushless with 2 2Ah batteries.
