e)
Recharge the lithium-ion batteries immediately and never store them when empty.
If the battery is stored while disconnected from the tool and the charger, it will
maintain a constant capacity over a long period of time. (Loss approx. 5 % per year)
f) Do not subject the lithium-ion battery to high temperatures (+ 50°C) or direct
sunlight.
If the battery gets warmer than 50°C during operation (charging or
discharging), it must be removed from the charger or tool immediately.
g)
Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects which might bridge the contacts. Do not open the battery and do
not short-circuit it.
A short-circuit between the battery contacts can lead to burns, fire
or explosions.
h)
Under extreme use or temperature conditions, batteries can leak.
Avoid contact
with the skin or eyes if the battery leaks. The battery fluid is acidic and can cause
chemical burns on tissue.
If the fluid comes into contact with skin, immediately wash it
with soap and water and then rinse it with lemon juice or vinegar. If the fluid gets into
the eyes, flush with water for at least 10 minutes and immediately go to the doctor.
i)
Make sure that the Li-Ion battery does not fall down or is subject to vibrations and
impacts.
j) Clean the contacts on the batteries and charging station regularly with a cloth
soaked in high-percentage alcohol or alternatively with a cotton swab.
NOTE
Lithium-ion batteries have nearly no self-discharge and do not have a memory
effect. If properly used, they will reliably supply your tool with power for
several years (approx. 800 - 1,200 charge cycles).
In general the following applies:
Avoid deep discharging or overcharging the lithium-ion battery under any
circumstances. It will be permanently damaged from this.
