The Makita BL1430B is a top - notch 14.4V Lithium - Ion battery designed specifically for Makita cordless tools. Its compact and lightweight design is a real game - changer, reducing operator fatigue and making your work more comfortable. This battery is only compatible with Makita 14.4V tools that use a slide - style battery system. The built - in L.E.D. charge level indicator is an added bonus, allowing you to easily keep track of the battery's charge status. It reaches a full charge in just 30 minutes or less, getting you back to work quickly. It's only for Star Protection tools, recognizable by the Star Symbol™ and/or the Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. The battery maintains consistent power and run - time even in extremely cold temperatures, down to - 4°F (- 20°C). Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™, it guards against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. The impact - resistant outer case and shock - absorbing inner - liner protect the battery from damage. With sixteen contact terminals, it ensures a stable connection with the tool, preventing power loss or fluctuations, even during high - vibration tasks. It resists self - discharge, so it's always ready for use after long periods of storage. Thanks to Makita's advanced technology, it has a category - leading charge time, meaning more work and less time on the charger (charger not included).
Using the Makita BL1430B battery is easy. First, make sure your Makita cordless tool is compatible with 14.4V slide - style batteries. Slide the battery onto the tool until it clicks into place. You can check the charge level using the LED indicator on the battery. When the battery is low, remove it from the tool and charge it. It should reach a full charge in 30 minutes or less. Remember, this battery is only for Star Protection tools, so don't use it with other non - compatible tools. Keep the battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or cold. If you're not going to use the battery for a long time, it's okay as it resists self - discharge. But it's still a good idea to check the charge level every few months. If the battery gets dirty, use a dry cloth to clean it. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. This will help keep your battery in good condition and ensure it lasts a long time.
