Tool not powering on with a charged battery

Verify that the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the tool. Ensure the tool is compatible with the 18V POWER FOR ALL battery system. Check for any debris blocking the battery connection points on the tool.

Reduced battery run time

Battery performance can decrease over time and with use. Ensure the battery is stored correctly and not subjected to extreme temperatures. If the issue persists and the battery is old, consider replacing it.
