How to Make Your Power Tool Batteries Last Longer

Lithium-ion batteries are an investment. Treat them well and they'll reward you.

Avoid full discharges

Top up before packs are fully drained — partial cycles are easier on the cells.

Mind the temperature

Never charge a hot pack, and store batteries somewhere cool and dry.

Store at partial charge

For long-term storage, leave packs at around 40–60% rather than full or empty.
