Yester day a friend call round with 5 Makita lithium Ion 18 volt 6A batteries packs, two brand new, non of which will charge using the Makita charger. My question is, when new, should these packs be charged before use and how does one know when they require recharging, other than the drill slows down, I gather that it is important not to discharge these batteries beyond a prescribed level. Apparently he used two Battery packs once, when new, and said they were £90 each, I suggested he contact the supplier and ask for an exchange or refund. I bought an Aldi lithium Ion battery powered hedge clipper and on the instruction it said to charge the battery before use, which I did and no problems. Relevant comments will be much appreciated.
