Troubleshooting

Battery not charging

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted into the charger. Check that the charger is plugged into a working power outlet. Clean the battery and charger contacts with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, the battery may have a defect risk detected; check the LED indicators.

Battery not recognized by tool

Confirm the battery is fully charged and correctly latched into the tool. Ensure the tool is compatible with the 18V system. Check the battery's LED indicator for any defect warnings.

Charger not powering on
