Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my DeWalt charger not showing any LED lights?
No LED lights typically means the charger isn't receiving AC power. Check that the outlet works, the power cord isn't damaged, and connections are secure.
How do I know if my DeWalt charger is completely dead?
Test the charger in multiple known-good outlets. If no LEDs light up anywhere and the power cord appears undamaged, the charger likely needs replacement.

You can troubleshoot power supply issues like checking outlets and cords, but internal charger repairs should be left to professionals or warranty service.
What causes DeWalt charger power cords to fail?
Power cord failure usually results from repeated bending, pulling, or damage from being run over, cut, or exposed to heat sources.
