My makita dab won't work with a battery only the power lead, anyone.know o?
Makita dab radio will only work when used with the power lead, stick a 18v lithium battery in take out.power lead and it won't turn on?????? Very annoying, can anyone help?
When you plug in the mains power lead it will operate a switch that disables battery power - perhaps the switch is defective and permanently disconnecting the battery.
Perhaps the battery holder has bad connections.
Nobody here can see it to make a diagnosis.
Good Luck...
