Its key benefit is significantly increased power output and work capacity per charge, enabling faster application speeds. A potential caveat is that while lighter and more compact, the new pouch cell technology may feel different in weight distribution compared to traditional cylindrical cells.

Store the battery in a cool, dry place, keep terminals clean, and avoid physical damage. Always use the correct charger and avoid over-discharging.
'Higher max watts out' means the battery can deliver more power instantaneously, which translates to faster application speeds and the ability to handle more demanding tasks without the tool bogging down.
Ensure the battery is correctly seated on the DCB115 charger. Check that the charger is plugged into a working power outlet. Clean the battery terminals and charger contacts with a dry cloth.
Confirm the battery is fully charged. Ensure the battery is properly inserted into the tool's battery housing. Check the tool's power switch and ensure it's in the 'on' position.
The battery may need recharging. Ensure there are no obstructions in the tool that could be causing it to work harder. For persistent issues, the battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan or require professional inspection.
This could be due to overheating. Allow the battery to cool down before resuming use. Ensure the tool's ventilation ports are not blocked, and avoid strenuous applications that consistently push the battery to its thermal limit without breaks.
