Mikita DC18RC Charger, 3.0Ah 18v Battery question?

[GVCCRLM]

I am very confused by this charger. The yellow LED in on, Battery Conditioning.

What does that mean?

Battery is fully charged, I think after 30 minutes. The yellow LED is still on.

Makita needs to provide better documentation.

Their lead blower runs out of juice on high after about 15 minutes.

Shouldn't this battery run longer than 15 minutes.

Comments????

Presumably it means the battery is now charged, but the charger has switched to a mode which keeps it topped up with a small current. Or maybe some more advanced conditioning program.

Leaf blowers are high power consumption items.
15 mins seems good for a 3Ah battery.

I agree, 15 mins is probably good for a 3ah. A bigger battery would solve your problem.
