I have very nice (an quite new) Bosch cordless drill, charger and case.
One of the 2mm HSS drill bits I had left in the case made it's way into the charger via the ventilation grills.
It went with a bang when I plugged it in today.
You live, and hopefully, learn Adam.
Yep. One of those things, and life is and will always be a learning curve.
At least with a bang, chances are good that something's obviously failed when you look inside, and it's an easy fix - I prefer those kinds of faults to "it just suddenly stopped working"...

Your sang-froid is admirable. I'd have assumed a charger designed for construction sites would have better IP than that. So I've learnt and will be bloody careful when I get around to replacing my ancient Hitachi. (So ancient its charger doesn't seem to bother with ventilation).
Of course if it is still in warranty.....After all, if they knock it back as having been misused you could always say it must have have been one of the apprentices ;)
Not after the soldering modification I had carried out to see if it was just the fuse on the chargers PCB that had blown:-)
When I plugged it back in it took put hotel rooms 501 to 508.
^^^^^out^^^^^
It went bang twice:-) See my other posts.
Not quite. It starts like that, then it turns into a forgetting curve. :-(
