You more than likely damaged the battery. Swap batteries and try again.

Yeah, good idea. Now how do you "drop" a table saw????

Bosch 12V cordless. I've had it for several years now; I'm pretty sure that
specific model isn't made any more.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.
I have "used" and "abused" Bosch drills for a few years
now. During my shop construction back in 1998, I dropped
my drill from the top of a 12' step ladder "several" times.
I split the housing and replaced that. The drill lives on
to this day, but the batteries are headed down hill.

Use this as an appropriate reason to get yourself a new drill.

Mine have wrist straps. I try to remember to use them.

That seems odd to me because aren't the batteries designed to 'break away' from
the drill body as a shock absorbing feature? Mine certainly do. They are 18 volt
German made.
Which drill?

And get a better one this time. :-)
Seriously, though -- when I was in the market for a new cordless drill, I had
narrowed the choices down to Bosch and Makita. The final decision came
directly after I asked the Bosch salesman at the WoodWorking Show about the
durability of the drill, specifically about its ability to survive falls from
a ladder.
He said "Come with me."
He led me to an empty spot at the side of the exhibition hall and hurled the
drill at the top of the 20-foot-high brick wall. It bounced off, then fell all
20 feet to the concrete floor. He walked over, picked it up, squeezed the
trigger, and it worked perfectly.
I said "Sold."
