I've a fairly new (6 months old, maybe 3 charge cycles) Makita 5Ah LXT battery that seems to have failed. I put it away fully charged about a month ago and on trying to use it the drill doesn't respond at all. The battery test flashes alternating 2 solid adjacent lights several times. The charger indicates a fully charged green light.
Anyone any experience of this? Or is it back to the shop for an exchange?
(as an aside, i've just notice Makita offer a 3 year warranty - but only if you regsiter with a month of purchase. Which of course I haven't done . . . )
