Charger Cleaning, Storage and Service

Cleaning
Unplug the charger from the power source before cleaning or removing debris from charging pockets.
Use only mild detergent with a slightly damp cloth to clean the outside of the charger. Do not use solvents or flammable
cleaners. Allow the case to dry fully before using again.
Do not allow cleaning agents of any kind to contact the charging contacts; they may be damaged. If necessary, clean them
with a soft-bristle, dry brush or compressed air.
Storage
Remove all batteries from the charging bays and disconnect AC power before placing the charger in storage. It
should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from weather and airborne debris.
Battery packs should be kept in a cool, dry place whenever possible. Do not store battery packs in direct sunlight, on a
metal surface, or anywhere the battery pack cannot cool down. Do not leave the battery pack in a non-operating charger.
The battery pack may discharge through the charger rather than hold its charge.
Service
There are no user serviceable parts in the Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery or the Charger. Contact
(page 14-1) should your charger require service.

Battery Cleaning, Storage and Service

Cleaning
The battery pack should not require cleaning unless it has become heavily soiled. Old or damaged batteries
should be disposed of promptly and properly. The best way to dispose of used batteries is to recycle them.
Battery recycling facilities recover the Nickel, Lithium or Lead from old batteries to manufacture new batteries.
Use only mild detergent with a slightly damp cloth to clean the outside of the battery. Do not use solvents or flammable
cleaners. Allow the case to dry fully before using again.
Do not allow cleaning agents of any kind to contact the charging contacts; they may be damaged. If necessary, clean them
with a soft-bristle, dry brush or compressed air.
Storage
Battery packs should be stored, charging contact side up, in a cool dry place, protected from weather and airborne
debris, whenever possible.
Do not store battery packs in direct sunlight, on a metal surface, or anywhere the battery pack cannot cool down.
Do not leave the battery pack in a non-operating charger. The battery pack may discharge through the charger rather than
hold its charge.
Battery packs may leak up to 1 mA current through the battery contacts when left in an unpowered charger pocket.

Cause
The battery pack is too hot or too
cold to charge.
Solution
Remove battery pack from the charging pocket and
allow it to adjust to room temperature.
If the battery pack is left in the charging pocket, it will
cool down or warm to a temperature upon which the
charger will begin the charge cycle. However,
depending on the temperature of the battery, it may
take 2-3 hours to adjust. The cool-down / warm-up of
a battery pack is much quicker if the battery is not in
the charging pocket.
