Using your DeWalt DCB612 battery is easy. First, make sure it's fully charged before use. You can use any 20V MAX charger to charge it. When you're ready to work, simply insert the battery into your 20V MAX, 60V MAX, or 120V MAX tool. The battery will automatically adjust its voltage as needed. As you work, keep an eye on the 3 - LED Fuel Gauge to know the charge status. When the battery is running low, stop using the tool and recharge it. For maintenance, store the battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, especially below 0°F. If you're not going to use the battery for a long time, it's a good idea to charge it to about 50% and then store it. This will help keep the battery in good condition for longer.
