Only use GARDENA batteries for the GARDENA battery product. GARDENA cannot
accept any liability for the batteries of other manufacturers. If they are of minor
quality, they could cause a fire or explosion hazard!
Do not use the GARDENA charger to charge external rechargeable batteries,
as GARDENA cannot guarantee compatibility and could therefore present a risk of
fire or explosion.
Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
DANGER! Risk of explosion!
Protect batteries from heat and fire. Do not leave on radiators or expose to
strong sunshine for long periods.
Do not operate them in explosive atmospheres, e. g. in the presence of
flammable liquids (vapours), flammable gases or accumulations of dust.
Batteries may create sparks which could ignite the mixtures.
Check your battery before each use. Visually check the battery before each use.
A non-functioning battery must be disposed of correctly. Do not send by post.

Check the charging cable regularly for signs of damage or ageing (brittleness).
Only use it in perfect condition.
Do not stow or transport the battery above 45 °C or in direct sunlight. Ideally,
the battery should be stored below 25 °C so that self-discharge is low.
Do not expose the battery to rain, water (immersion) or wet conditions.
Keep battery in order (clean) especially air vents.
If usage of the battery is not planned for a certain time (winter period) reload the
battery to avoid a deep discharge.
