BATTERIES
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 used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.

‡ 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.

chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods
Legislation requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with
local, national and international provisions and regulations.
Ŷ The user can transport the batteries by road without further
requirements.
Ŷ Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is
subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation
and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately
trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by
corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
Ŷ Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and
insulated to prevent short circuit.
Ŷ Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within
packaging.
Ŷ Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
Check with forwarding company for further advice.
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 machine automatically. To restart,
switch the machine off and then on again. If the machine does not
start up again, the battery pack may have discharged completely. In
this case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Overheated cells will reduce performance, run time and life.
Overheating can occur from battery packs being exposed to very
hot environments or from the tool they are powering being over-
worked. The control electronics will automatically shut down the
battery pack to protect the cells which in turn protects the electronics
and motor within the tool. The battery pack will automatically shut
itself down again should the temperature condition remain high
when the trigger is pulled again. The system will continue to shut
the battery pack down until the temperature is returned to a safe
operating level.
CURRENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The control electronics will instantly shut down the battery back
when excessive current draw is detected - protecting both the
battery cells and the motor of the tool. Releasing the trigger will
reset the battery pack each time.
INDIVIDUAL CELL MONITORING
The control electronics constantly check each individual cell
and automatically adjust its charge and discharge requirements
accordingly.
This system maximises individual cell life whilst ensuring that the
battery pack is delivering peak performance to the tool at all times.
MAINTENANCE
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
Use only AEG accessories and AEG spare parts. Should
components need to be replaced which have not been described,
please contact one of our AEG service agents (see our list of
