To obtain the best life for the battery
Never allow the drill to come to a complete stand still
before recharging. The battery should be placed on charge
whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the drill
no longer performs a task it previously performed.
Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the
battery is fully charged every time by allowing the charger
to complete its full charging cycle.
Avoid allowing lose items like screws or nails etc to be
stored with battery packs as these or similar items can
short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.

below 0ºC and above 40ºC.
