Using the Makita BL4040 battery is easy. Just slide it onto your compatible XGT® tool until it clicks into place. You can check the charge level at any time using the four bright green L.E.D. indicators. When it's time to charge, use a compatible XGT® charger (sold separately). It'll reach a full charge in 45 minutes or less. As for maintenance, keep the battery clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals. Also, don't over - discharge the battery. If you notice any signs of damage or if the battery isn't performing as well as it used to, stop using it and contact Makita support. Remember, the battery comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so you're covered for a while.
