Charging
Use only a charger specifically designed for 7.2V NiCd batteries. Using an incompatible charger can damage the battery or cause safety hazards.
- Connect your NiCd battery charger to a power outlet.
- Insert the ExpertPower battery into the charger, ensuring proper alignment.
- Observe the charger's indicator lights. A typical NiCd charger will show a red light during charging and a green light when fully charged. Refer to your charger's manual for specific indicator meanings.
- Allow the battery to charge completely. Overcharging NiCd batteries can reduce their lifespan, though built-in protection helps mitigate this.
- Once charged, remove the battery from the charger.
Note: NiCd batteries can develop a "memory effect" if repeatedly recharged after only being partially discharged. To minimize this, it is recommended to fully discharge NiCd batteries before recharging them periodically.
Operating
Once the battery is fully charged and securely installed in your compatible Makita power tool, the tool is ready for operation according to its own user manual. Always follow the safety guidelines provided with your power tool.
- Ensure the battery is clean and free of debris before insertion.
- Do not force the battery into the tool or charger.
- Monitor battery performance during use. If the tool's power significantly decreases, it's time to recharge the battery.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep battery terminals clean and free of dirt or corrosion. Use a dry cloth to wipe them if necessary.
- Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, it is advisable to store NiCd batteries in a discharged state.
- Cycle Life: NiCd batteries have a finite number of charge/discharge cycles. Proper charging and storage can help maximize their lifespan.
- Avoid Deep Discharge: While NiCd batteries benefit from occasional full discharge to combat memory effect, consistently running them completely dead can stress the battery.
