Battery Not Fitting Correctly

Occasionally users may find a battery doesn't lock securely into the tool or charger.

Possible Causes

  • Incorrect battery model
  • Dirt or debris around the connection points
  • Damaged rails or terminals
  • Wear from prolonged use

Resolution

  • Verify the battery is compatible with your tool.
  • Inspect the battery mounting rails.
  • Remove any debris from the contacts.
  • Test the battery in another compatible tool if possible.

Never force a battery into place, as this can damage both the battery and the tool.
