Inserting into Tool:

1. Align the battery with the battery port on your DEWALT 20V MAX* tool.
2. Slide the battery into the tool until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is fully seated to prevent accidental dislodgement during operation.

Each battery is equipped with an LED fuel gauge. Press the button on the battery to illuminate the LEDs, indicating the remaining charge level. This allows for quick assessment of battery status, helping you plan your work and avoid unexpected power loss.

Optimizing Runtime:

The 5Ah capacity provides extended runtime for most applications. For power-hungry tools or prolonged use, it is recommended to have a fully charged spare battery readily available to ensure continuous operation.

4. Maintenance

Charging:

• Always use a DEWALT-approved 20V MAX* charger. Using unapproved chargers may damage the battery and void the warranty.

• Verify that the battery is fully and correctly seated in the charger.
• Check for any visible damage to the battery or charger. If damaged, do not use.
• Allow the battery to cool down if it was recently used in a high-demand application, as some chargers will not charge a hot battery.

Battery Not Powering Tool:
