How do I know if my drill battery or charger is bad?

Touch the meter’s black negative probe to the remaining metal terminal in the base of the charger. Read the meter. A properly functioning charger will produce a reading on the meter within a few tenths of a point of the voltage capacity of the battery. If the meter does not produce a reading, the charger is faulty.
