Tips for maintaining maximum battery
life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge
the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature
at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot battery
cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. When not using the battery cartridge, remove it from
the tool or the charger.
5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use it for a
long period (more than six months).
