BATTERIES
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the
performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended
exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be
kept clean.
For an optimum lifetime, the battery packs have to be
fully charged, after use. Battery packs which have not
been used for some time should be recharged before
use.
To obtain the longest-possible battery life, remove the
battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
■ Store the battery pack where the temperature is
below 27°C and away from moisture.
■ Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged
condition.
■ Every six months of storage, charge the pack as
normal.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household
refuse or by burning them. MILWAUKEE distributors
offer to retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal
objects (short circuit risk).
Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the
