Advice on Recharging A Newly Purchased Panasonic Cordless Drill Battery

When that new Panasonic Cordless Drill Battery arrives at your door, the last thing you'd ever expect to NOT do would be charge it. This is pretty much common sense stuff right?. Although, for some mixed up crazy reason common sense isn't always right, for those that have had the pleasure of encountering a new pack that refused to cooperate, well... you know what I am talking about..

Most companies will never send fully charged batteries in the mail. Mailing something like that presents a financial liability, not to mention, once a pack is charged fully, its lifespan clock starts ticking, and companies don't need people complaining about their packs longevity. To keep their conscious and bank account clear from avoidable legal claims, they send out batteries with minimal charges. If there is a charge on your battery, it is most likely a test charge quality control uses to see if the pack is working.

A pack that does come with a small amount of charge may disagree with the charger you are using. Strangely enough, some chargers consider them to be full rather than empty. You too may have encountered this before. The charging light would turn on, but oddly enough the light would then quickly shut off.

The good news is, the fix to this issue is easy. Put the pack on your drill, run it down, and then put it back into the charger. This has reportedly worked for many people who have had this issue with a charging a new pack, and hopefully, it works for you too should you encounter the same problem!
