How do I check the battery level on my Makita DTD153 impact driver?

[ColemanAnn]

Checking the battery level on your Makita DTD153 18V LXT Brushless Impact Driver is simple. Here's how:

1. Locate the Check Button: Find the check button on the battery cartridge itself.
2. Press the Check Button: Press the check button. The indicator lights on the battery will illuminate briefly.
3. Understand the Lights: The lights indicate the remaining charge:
   • All Lights On: 75% to 100% capacity remaining.
   • Lights Off: 50% to 75% capacity remaining.
   • Lights Blinking: 25% to 50% capacity remaining. It's time to think about charging soon.
   • All Lights Off: 0% to 25% capacity remaining. Recharge your battery.
   • No Lights/Malfunction: If no lights appear, there might be a battery issue.

Note that the display might slightly vary depending on usage conditions and temperature. Also, the first indicator light may blink if the battery protection system is active.
