It's too easy!
If you have a Makita cordless drill, your life gets much easier. Especially due to the lithium-ion batteries they come with. Makita drills are becoming popular with each passing day.
Drill Cordless
That said, a Makita battery charger is an important aspect of maintaining a cordless drill.
The first thing you must remember while operating a cordless tool is to never use it when the battery level is low. Always keep the battery charged and fresh.
Always use the charger supplied with your Makita cordless drill. Using any other charger will only damage your drill battery.
Another question, which must be bugging you would be, 'how long do I charge the battery for?' Well, remember that you simply have to follow the indicators on your makita battery charger.
If it is red, lt's charged and if it's green, it's time to unplug it-Your ready to go!
Some of them have continuous light and flashing light indicators.
That said; remember the following tips while charging your cordless drill:
* Be sure that the Makita battery charger is plugged in and switched on.
* Fix the Makita battery into the charging station.
* Switch on the power supply and completely charge the battery.
* When it is first switched on check the battery charger indicator lights to ensure there are no errors. It should show either charging or already fully charged.
If you are charging the battery for the first time, charge it at least for 7-8 hours. If it has been previously charged, simply follow the charging indicators. A completely empty battery should be charged for around four to six hours. -Always go off the indicator lights though. Once charged, unplug the charging cord from the Makita cordless drill.
The device is now ready to be used.
Now, here are a few tips about maximizing the performance of your Makita battery.
A. You can prolong the battery life by completely charging and then fully discharging it, at least once a month. Exceptions to this rule are the Li-Ion batteries, which do not experience the memory effect.
B. Ensure that the contacts of your Makita cordless Drill Battery are as clean as possible as this would ensure a good charge.
C. Do not let the battery stay in a discharged state for long. Use the battery at least once a month.
D. If you don't plan on using your tool for a month or so, take out the battery and store it in a cool and dry place. Also when not in use click the rotation direction switch by the trigger to neutral. This aids in battery storage.
So, do you still feel hassled about charging your cordless Makita cordless drill? We think not.

Black Friday Bosch DDS180-02 18-Volt Compact Tough Drill Driver with 2 1.3Ah Batteries Overview
Includes 18V Cordless Lithium-Ion Compact Tough 1/2-in Drill/Driver - DDS180-02, (2) 18V Slim Pack Lithium-Ion 1.3 Ah Batteries, 30 Minute Li-Ion Charger, Carrying CaseBlack Friday Bosch DDS180-02 18-Volt Compact Tough Drill Driver with 2 1.3Ah Batteries Specifications
Ready for all materials from wood to metal, the compact yet powerful Bosch DDS180-02 Compact Tough 18-volt lithium-ion 1/2-inch drill/driver's 7-inch head length is the smallest in its class, yet it delivers top heavy-duty drilling performance. It works with all Bosch 18-volt lithium-ion batteries, and this kit includes two 1.3 Ah Slim Pack batteries to help keep things light.
Fast Speeds, High Torque, and Durable Construction
The DDS180-02 is optimized to worke at two speeds--one for high-torque applications (0-500 RPM) and one for high-speed applications (1,700 RPM)--and it provides a maximum of 600 inch-pounds of torque. The 4-pole open-frame motor and newly developed gearbox provide exceptional power for such a compact drill/driver. The 18+1 clutch settings included in this Compact Tough model and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results. It can drive 500 screws per charge using the BAT619G 3.0 Ah HC battery (not included).
Balanced Design and Easy Bit Changes
This drill/driver's Durashield housing is constructed with ABS/nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible on impact. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 10-foot drops.
The ergonomically designed handle and soft-grip wrapped housing offer a comfortable fit for extended working time. The DDS180-02 comes complete with a single-sleeve 1/2-inch auto-lock chuck for one-handed bit changes, as well as increased drill-bit capacity for versatility. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas.
Flexible Power System
Like all tools in Bosch's 18-volt line, this drill/driver can be used with either a 1.3 Ah Slim Pack battery (model BAT609), a 2.6-Ah Fat Pack battery (model BAT618), or a 3.0 Ah Fat Pack HC batter (model BAT619G). If you're looking for a lightweight option, the Slim Pack is the perfect choice. If longer runtime is what you need, the Fat Pack will do the job.
ProVantage GuaranteeThe DDS180-02 comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years. |
