MATCO CORDLESS BATTERY USE AND CARE GUIDE
The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
7. Be careful not to drop, shake or strike battery as
it will affect the capacity and may void warranty.
8. Do not charge inside a box or container of any
kind. The charger and battery are ventilated
devices and must NOT be placed next to a
heat source or in exposure to radiating heat.
IMPORTANT!
All rechargeable batteries have a finite lifespan and
will slowly lose storage capacity as they age and
are cycled. Rechargeable batteries are consumable
items and should be carefully treated to ensure
proper operation during its limited lifespan. Please
read the following guide carefully for tips that
may maximize the performance of your Matco
rechargeable batteries. Batteries should be handled
with care and disposed through proper authorities.
WARNING!
MUST READ!
Do not crush or incinerate batteries as it may
cause danger from explosion.
Do not place batteries in confined spaces where
it may be in contact with conductive objects. For
example, do not place battery in pockets, light
boxes, light bags, etc. with screws, keys, metal
shavings, etc. as the battery may short circuit
and/or cause fire hazard.
Only charge in Matco chargers and never attempt to
wire to alternative charging sources.
Danger of explosion, electric shock, fire, and
electrocution may result from:
- Abuse, misuse, and severe shock
- Subjecting the unit to conductive particles,
objects, and liquids
- Connecting two chargers together
- Charging Matco batteries with other chargers
- Using the Matco charger to charge other
batteries
- Operating the charger with a damaged cord
or plug
PROPER CARE WILL MAXIMIZE PRODUCT LIFE
Please note that there are differences in the care
of Lithium-Ion and Nickel-Cadmium batteries.
9. Place charger on a solid and sturdy surface
as there are vents on the bottom side of the
charger.
10. Always unplug the charger from the power
supply when a charging sequence is not
taking place.
PROPER CARE FOR MATCO INFINIUM LITHIUM-ION
(LI-ION) BATTERIES
- All Li-ion batteries are sensitive to high
temperature and should be kept cool, dry, and
out of direct light exposure. Ideal temperature
range for operation and storage is between
32 and 75° F. Li-ion batteries may be stored
in the refrigerator, but freezers are not
recommended.
- Do not leave batteries unused for extended
periods of time, especially when it is fully
charged or fully discharged. Bring a Li-ion
battery to approximately 50% charge level
before storing.
- Li-ion batteries are sensitive to shock. Avoid
dropping, hitting, or exposure to vibration.
- Li-ion can be charged frequently and recharged
before it is fully depleted. Li-ion, in fact, is
ideally recharged before it is completely
depleted. Recharging when there is 25%-50%
capacity remaining in the battery may prolong
its lifespan.
- Contaminants can adversely affect the
performance and life of Li-ion batteries.
Minimize the battery’s exposure to dust, dirt,
and small particles.
- Recharge Matco Li-ion batteries only in Matco
recharging devices that are designed
specifically for the battery type. Never subject
batteries to any other quick-charging, quick-
discharging, or quick-restoring devices.
PROPER CARE FOR MATCO NICKEL-CADMIUM
(NI-CD) BATTERIES
- Ni-Cd batteries are sensitive to high
temperatures and should be kept cool, dry,
and out of direct light exposure. Ideal operating
and storage temperature is between 32 and
70° F. Ni-Cd batteries may be stored in a
refrigerator, but freezers are not recommended.
- Do not leave batteries unused for extended
periods of time. Store Ni-Cd batteries fully
discharged in a cool and dry place.
