3. Verify Connection: Gently tug on the battery to ensure it is firmly seated and will not accidentally detach during operation.

Operating Instructions

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. The high capacity of this battery provides extended runtime, reducing the frequency of recharges during prolonged use.

Maintenance and Storage

General Care

• Keep the battery clean and dry. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth if necessary.
• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or moisture.

Long-Term Storage

• For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the battery at approximately 50% charge.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• If storing for extended periods (more than 6 months), periodically charge the battery to about 50% to prevent deep discharge, which can damage the battery.
