To extend the lifetime of the pack, avoid fully discharging the 
battery pack.

 

»

If the battery pack is nearly depleted, we recommend charging 
to approximately 50% prior to long-term storage.

 

»

When storing for extended periods of time, cycle the battery 
pack by discharging and charging at least once every 6 
months. Failure to cycle the pack will reduce the capacity of 
the battery pack over time.

 

»

Approximately 20-40% of the battery pack capacity will drain 
when left idle for a month. The lost capacity will typically be 
recovered after two or three charge/discharge cycles. Lost 
capacity may not be recoverable if the battery pack is stored 
for over 6 months without cycling.

 

»

Do not recharge a fully charged battery pack.

 

»

Disconnect the charger from the battery pack and outlet when 
not in use.

 

»

This charger is for indoor use only in dry locations. Keep the 
charger away from fire and other sources of heat.

 

»

Battery pack and charger contain no user-serviceable parts. 
Do not attempt to open these products. Replace if damaged.

Charge the battery pack in a cool, dry place. Operating and storage 
temperature is 5ºC/41ºF to 30ºC/86ºF. Never leave the battery pack 
unattended while charging.
The charging indicator LED on the front of the smart charger indicates 
the charge cycle. The indicatory may take a few seconds after 
plugging into a battery pack to reflect the current charge state.
