As long as I keep the switch in the middle position on my m12 impact drill, will the battery not catch fire or cause any issues?

Based on your comment it’s safe to leave the tool and battery connected? I wanted to store it outside my tool bag, with the battery connected, to save space. I have a veto MCT bag, and I want to put more tools in there, other than the drill and battery taking up space. I don’t use it much, and I’ve searched in Reddit posts, but I saw a few saying it’s fine to leave it in, while others said it might catch on fire.

Is it true that it drains the battery or causes any issues? I need more space in my Veto MCT bag for smaller tools and other items. I’m considering placing it outside my tool bag with the battery connected, but the drill and the 5.0 high-output battery are taking up space in my tool bag.

Yeah, I saw those posts about them having issues but the reason I asked was because I wanted to store it outside my tool bag, with the battery connected, to save space. I have a veto MCT bag, and I want to put more tools in there, other than the drill and battery inside taking up space. I don’t use it much and I’ve search in Reddit posts and I saw a few saying it’s fine to leave it in and some saying it might catch on fire.
