Battery Performance Troubleshooting

Battery performance troubleshooting

Is a suitable battery being Used? 

• This tool performs best with a 4Ah battery or higher for optimal runtime. 
• The higher the Ah (amp-hour) rating, the longer the runtime. 
• If using a battery lower than 4Ah, consider upgrading to a higher-capacity battery for better performance. 

Does the task require a capacity larger Battery? 

• If the battery does not last long enough to complete your task, a larger capacity battery may be needed. 
• Larger batteries provide longer runtime, especially for demanding applications. 

Check if the issue is with the battery or the tool 

• Try inserting a fully charged battery into the tool to see if it starts. 
• If the tool works with a different battery, the issue may lie with the original battery. 
   

Is the battery older than 3 years? 

• Over time, rechargeable batteries degrade, leading to reduced performance. 
• To check the age:
  1. Locate the serial plate on the bottom of the battery.
  2. If the manufacture year is over 3 years ago, the battery may need replacing. 

Are you storing the tool and battery in a cold area? 

• Cold temperatures can reduce battery performance and runtime. 
• Keep the battery and tool warm (not hot) when not in use. 
• Consider using an insulated battery jacket if available. 

Are you running the tool continuously at full power? 

• Running the tool at full power unnecessarily can drain the battery faster. 
• Use the appropriate power setting for your task. 
• Lower the speed or power when possible to conserve battery life. 

Is there a build-up of dust and debris? 

• Accumulated dust and debris inside the Trim Route can affect performance and increase heat and noise. 
• Regularly clean the Trim Router’s base and housing to maintain optimal operation.
