It means you can recharge the battery at any point without negatively impacting its overall capacity. You don't need to fully discharge it before recharging.

How long does the battery typically last in storage?

Due to its minimal self-discharge characteristics, the battery will retain most of its charge for extended periods when stored properly.

What is the warranty period for this battery?

DeWalt typically offers a limited warranty on their XR Lithium-Ion batteries. Please refer to the product packaging or DeWalt's official website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Battery not charging

Ensure the charger is plugged in and functioning. Clean the battery and charger contacts. Try a different outlet or charger if available.

Tool not powering on with battery

Confirm the battery is fully seated in the tool. Check the battery's charge level using the LED indicator. Ensure the tool is compatible with the 20V MAX* system.
