Troubleshooting
Battery not charging
Ensure the battery is correctly seated on the charger. Check if the charger is plugged in and the power outlet is functional. Clean the battery and charger terminals. If the issue persists, the battery or charger may require service.
Charger error light flashing
Refer to the charger's manual for specific error code interpretations. Common causes include a faulty battery, extreme temperature, or a damaged charger. Allow the battery to reach a normal temperature before attempting to charge again.
Reduced battery runtime
Batteries degrade over time and with use. Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check for any tool-specific issues that might be draining the battery faster. If the battery is old, it may need replacement.
Tool not powering on with a charged battery
Confirm the battery is an XGT battery and compatible with the tool. Ensure the battery is properly clicked into the tool. Try a different charged XGT battery to rule out a battery issue.
