New Makita Product DHP482RF3J with empty Batteries?

Recommended Posts

Hello Forum!

I am new here - although I am a Makita User since many years.

I just bought the new article DHP482RF3J with three 18V 3A batteries. Yesterday it arrived at my home.

The machine works well, everything looks good.

Except the batteries. I can't remember that the batteries are all empty, when receiving a new Makita product.

When I hit the capacity-button on the battery there is no light on. So it is completely empty.

I remember that an empty batterie (maybe stored a long time in a cold place?) is not very good and maybe it will not work for a long time.

Or should I not be concerned?

What should I do? Send the batteries back and wait for new ones?

Best regards,

Marlon

Hi Marion,

Exactly the same issue! I have never known a lithium battery to be completely dead! Not even the empty bar. Perhaps this is a shipping safety thing (although it comes with plastic terminal protector) Did you ever resolve this Marion? Did the battery take a charge? Still working now? 

Doe anyone else have any insights..... Much appreciated.😊
