Thanks, Wyernut! I haven't seen this anywhere else yet! Gotta check the drill when I get home tonight!

Makes you wonder who is making batteries for cordless things these days.
Laptop batteries, drill batteries, you name it, they all seem to have problems, we never had this problem when everything worked straight off the mains.
