Default oldish Parkside drill charger

My Parkside drill charger has suddenly come over all poorly.
It worked fine 2 weeks ago when last used but now it won't charge.
I checked the voltage of the charging and it read +- 13.8 volts. It's
an 18 volt charger.
It has 6 security screws holding it together so I wondered if there
would be anything in there that I could fix/replace.
It's been a good drill and I'm reluctant to throw it out so does anyone
know if the charger might be repairable?
I know a replacement would be cheap enough but I don't want to throw
away a perfectly good drill for landfill.
Grateful for any help.


Almost certainly the battery failed. You can get them fixed, but a new
drill complete from Lidl will be better and cheaper.
