Using your Makita 18V Lxt Li - Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack is easy. First, insert the battery into the charger. The integrated L.E.D. charge level indicator will show you the battery's charge status. Wait for about 45 minutes or less for a full charge. When using the battery with your tool, make sure it's a Star Protection - compatible tool, marked with the Star Symbol or Yellow Battery Receiver. During operation, the battery will give you consistent power, even in cold weather. As for maintenance, keep the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid overcharging or over - discharging the battery, as the Star Protection Computer Controls™ help prevent these issues, but it's still good practice. If the battery gets dirty, use a dry cloth to clean it. Also, check the 16 contact terminals regularly to ensure they're clean and in good condition for a stable connection with your tool.
