6 Before use
6.1 Battery use and care
NOTE
Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Use a
battery only when it has been fully charged. This ensures
that maximum battery capacity is available. Change to
a second battery in good time. Recharge the battery
immediately so that it is ready for reuse.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Never store the
battery where it is exposed to direct sunlight or sources
of heat, e.g. on heaters / radiators or behind a motor
vehicle windscreen. Batteries that have reached the end
of their life must be disposed of safely and correctly to
avoid environmental pollution.
6.2 Charging the battery
DANGER
Use only the Hilti batteries and Hilti chargers listed
under “Accessories”.
6.2.1 Charging a new battery for the first time

6.2.2 Charging a previously used battery
Ensure that the outer surfaces of the battery are clean
and dry before inserting it in the corresponding charger.
Read the operating instructions for the charger for further

Li-ion batteries are ready for use at any time, even when
only partly charged. Charging progress is indicated by
the LED display (see charger operating instructions).
