Default Electric Augers

So I bit the bullet and bought a new Strike Master 24v.

Poblem is the manual is only in French which I don't read. Question is I took it out yesterday and only drilled 4 holes. Should I re-charge the battery, or wait till it gets low?

You can throw it on the charger ...wont hurt..long gone are the old days of "Battery Memory" the "Drain the recharge BS" tgese L-ion batteries all have a "Smart Charger" that makes it easey...if in doubt...Plug it in!

I recharge mine as soon as I’m done so they are stored full. The only thing I have heard is don’t leave them on the charger for longer than it takes to get them charged (as in, don’t leave them for days on the charger).

That’s my understanding too

I just changed from my Strike Master with the Honda and wanted something light.

Only 14lbs and cuts quick and very easy to handle. Perfect for an old guy like me.
