Cordless Power Tools Battery Care Tips & Warnings
- To extend the life of your power tool’s NiCD battery, fully charge the battery, use the power tool, then fully discharge the battery. This will prevent the battery from developing what is called a “memory effect.” Perform this procedure every two to three weeks, if you use your power tools often.
- Most battery chargers use a “trickle” charge after charging the battery fully. This prevents overcharging in the event the battery is left in the charger.
- If you notice battery corrosion on the DEWALT DW9071 Power Tool Battery pack’s contacts, use an alcohol-soaked cotton swab to remove the corrosion.
- The battery and charger will likely be warm to the touch when in operation; this is normal
- Keep conductive materials such as steel wool, aluminum foil or metal shavings away from the charger.
