What is the best way to store this battery when charged? In the tool, In the charger, or stand alone?

Hey Chris , the battery did not for my drill. I just leave the charges battery in the drill. Not sure if this is correct.

With these type batteries, you will want to use them until they are fully dead before charging to get the most out of them. I would not store it on the charger it self. Any other way will be fine.

On the under side of the scale there should be a slot. You can use a quarter to insert in the slot and rotate it to expose the battery. I just use my nail (which is very short) to pull the battery out. If the nail doesn't work a butter knife should do the trick.

In my experience the battery life has been more than adequate to complete the job. Like any cordless tool it is a good idea to have a second battery on the charger, though. This reconditioned tool came with a compact lithium battery and a charger. I bought it because I have other 18V Ryobi tools.

Attach it to the charger to the battery. Plug in the charger into an outlet. The battery can be found on the bottom of the saw, just under the handle.

The battery in mine came in a separate box inside the larger box. By the way, in my particular unit, the battery is a too-tight fit in the trimmer & it is difficult to remove. I have to use a flat tool to pry it out each time.

Mine came "Tool Only" no battery. I bought a bare tool. That means no batteries, chargers......

All I know is that I ordered battery, charged it completely and it works great in my combo kit(drill, circular saw, reciprocating saw). NO problems whatsoever! Hope this helps!

There are two batteries in this combination. Both are 3.0 ah. Ideally it would be nice to have an additional battery if you are using both tools so that you don't have to switch batteries when on is charging.

In a bag is fine, It is an extra tool, no battery or charger came with it. That's why they call it "BARE TOOL". It is still a new piece. I use mine with my spare battery from my Bosch power screw driver. I ordered a "Bosch Bare-tool impact driver" also.

Most Li-ion battery manufacturers recommend that you charge fully, remove from charger as soon as possible after battery is charged and don't let them run down completely. I usually re-charge mine when they are about 30 percent remaining. I keep a spare battery and rotate them whenever I can. Manufacturers also don't recommend storing a fully charged battery for extended periods. That's why I rotate mine. I have never heard a reason for not storing a fully charged battery - maybe someone else has the answer to that.

I heard from a Makita Tech that this is not recommended, especially unplugging it while the battery is charging. He said it will shorten the life of the battery. That being said, you didn't cause any major damage. The battery will continue to work fine, probably for quite a while. Just don't make your method of choice for charging the battery, and try not to unplug the charger unless your battery has been removed first.

No,Crack the wallet and buy a regular or a hammer drill. You can buy a bare tool that fits your battery and save some bucks. Happy days!!

The tool or device that the battery it going to be used in should have come with a charger that plugs into any outlet. The battery plugs into the charger.

It has a charging station. The battery removes easily from the saw and plugs into the charging station. You can store it on the station but always store it in charged state. The battery holds a charge for a long time.

Mine is over a year old and still going strong. I charge it for a half day or so and use it off and on until it starts to loose power ...then back on the chager for abiut another day. Most rechargble tools should not be pluged up all the time and it is best to let the batteries drain to low before recharging.

All Dewalt batteries should be left in there chargers pluged in when not In use. They will have a longer life. Dewalt designed the chargers to maintain and replenish a charge only when the battery needs it.
