Only use genuine Makita batteries.
Use of non-genuine Makita batteries, or batteries that have been altered,
may result in the battery bursting causing fires, personal injury and
damage. It will also void the Makita warranty for the Makita tool and
charger.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always
stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging
shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10 °C - 40 °C
(50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging
it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use it for a long period
(more than six months).
