ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due
to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in
fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids,
such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach
containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or
by burning them. AEG Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to
protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only System AEG chargers for charging System AEG battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the
charger (short circuit risk).
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging
system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.
Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°C
and 40°C.
Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and

BATTERIES
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4 - 5 chargings
and dischargings. Battery packs which have not been used for some
time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION

The battery pack has overload protection that protects it from being
overloaded and helps to ensure long life. Under extreme stress the
battery electronics switch off the product automatically. To restart,
switch the product off, wait five seconds or re-install the battery
pack, and switch on again. If the product does not start up again, the
battery pack may have discharged completely. In this case it must be
recharged in the battery charger.
