Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
Charge the battery cartridge before
1.
completely discharged. Always stop tool
operation and charge the battery car-
tridge when you notice less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery
cartridge. Overcharging shortens the
battery service life.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104
°F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down
before charging it.
When not using the battery cartridge,
4.
remove it from the tool or the charger.
5.
Charge the battery cartridge if you do
not use it for a long period (more than
six months).
