Setup and Charging
Initial Charge:
- Upon receiving your new ExpertPower battery, it is recommended to fully charge it before first use.
- Insert the battery into a compatible Milwaukee 18V NiCd charger. Ensure the battery is securely seated.
- Allow the battery to charge until the charger indicates a full charge (refer to your charger's manual for specific indicators).
Installing the Battery:
- Ensure your power tool is turned off and disconnected from any power source.
- Align the battery with the battery slot on your Milwaukee 18V power tool.
- Slide the battery into the tool until it clicks into place, indicating a secure connection.
- To remove, press the battery release button (if present on your tool) and slide the battery out.
Operating Instructions
Once the battery is fully charged and installed in your compatible Milwaukee 18V power tool, the tool is ready for operation according to its own instruction manual. The ExpertPower battery provides 18 volts of power for consistent tool performance.
Battery Usage Tips:
- For optimal performance, avoid completely draining the battery before recharging. NiCd batteries can develop a "memory effect" if repeatedly partially discharged and then recharged.
- If possible, allow the battery to cool down before recharging, especially after heavy use.
- Do not force the battery into the tool or charger. If it does not slide in easily, check for obstructions or incorrect alignment.
Maintenance and Storage
General Maintenance:
- Keep the battery terminals clean. Use a dry cloth to wipe away any dust or debris.
- Inspect the battery for any signs of damage, such as cracks or leaks, before each use. Do not use a damaged battery.
Long-Term Storage:
- For long-term storage, it is best to store NiCd batteries in a cool, dry place at approximately 40% charge.
- Avoid storing batteries in extreme temperatures, either hot or cold, as this can degrade battery life.
- If storing for extended periods, periodically charge the battery to maintain its health.
Disposal:
NiCd batteries contain cadmium, a toxic heavy metal. Do not dispose of these batteries in household waste. Always recycle NiCd batteries at designated recycling centers or through programs that accept rechargeable batteries. Consult your local waste management authority for proper disposal instructions.
