Most chargers have an indicator to let you know when the battery is fully charged.<\/li>\n<li class=\"spacebottom\"><strong>Do Store Drill Battery Properly<\/strong>: Store your cordless tool battery in the original carrying case, or in a cushioned bag. Be sure to use the plastic cap that came with your battery to keep it from short circuiting and to protect the terminals from breakage or moisture.<\/li>\n<li class=\"spacebottom\"><strong>Do Adjust Power\u00a0Tool Settings<\/strong>: Be sure to use the right tool setting for the job. For example, higher torque settings can run down a cordless drill battery faster, so you\u2019ll get more battery life if you use the setting that\u2019s needed.<\/li>\n<li class=\"spacebottom\"><strong>Do Keep Battery Cool and Dry<\/strong>: Cordless tool batteries will last longer if stored in a dry, climate controlled dry area. It\u2019s not necessary, however, to store batteries in the freezer.<\/li>\n<li class=\"spacebottom\"><strong>Do Have a Backup Tool Battery Handy<\/strong>: It\u2019s a good idea to have a second\u00a0<u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/dewalt-power-tool-battery\/de9038.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dewalt DE9038 Power Tool Battery<\/a><\/u>\u00a0available and charged for your cordless tool, so you can switch out in mid-job.<\/li>\n<li class=\"spacebottom\"><strong>Do Keep Battery Charged<\/strong>: Recharge cordless tool batteries as soon as you notice a decrease in power. Most batteries last longest if recharged when they reach 70% capacity. Even NiCd batteries\u00a0only need to be completely discharged every month or so to retain their charge memory.<\/li>\n<li class=\"spacebottom\"><strong>Do Protect Cordless Drill\u00a0Battery<\/strong>: Be gentle with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/panasonic-power-tool-battery\/ey9210.html\">Panasonic EY9210 drill batteries<\/a> \u2013 they won\u2019t work if damaged or cracked.<\/li>\n<li class=\"spacebottom\"><strong>Do Use Battery Regularly<\/strong>: Battery life decreases with lack of use, so keep those tools in action! If you only very rarely use a tool, you may want to consider a plug-in version, or plan to recharge the cordless tool battery before starting a project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cordless drill batteries last for several years and with proper care and storage, you can extend &hellip; <a title=\"Rechargeable Power Tool Battery Dos to Extend Battery Life\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/rechargeable-power-tool-battery-dos-to-extend-battery-life\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Rechargeable Power Tool Battery Dos to Extend Battery Life<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5,6,401],"tags":[969,970,968],"class_list":["post-1555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-battery-knowledgebase","category-battery-wiki","category-how-to","category-power-tools-battery-tips","tag-dewalt-de9038-battery","tag-panasonic-ey9210-battery","tag-panasonic-ey9231b-battery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1555"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1557,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555\/revisions\/1557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
