LITHIUM BATTERY AND CHARGER SAFETY FEATURES
Over Charging Protection
This feature ensures that the battery is never overcharged. When the battery has
reached it’s full charge capacity the charger will shut off protecting the internal
components of the battery from being damaged.
Over Discharge Protection
An internal component of the battery pack is an over discharge protector. This
feature will stop the battery from discharging beyond the recommended lowest
safety voltage.
Over Heat Protection
The battery has an internal Thermister cut off sensor which will cease the charging
cycle if the battery becomes hot during the charging process. This Thermister
sensor will also stop the battery from operating should the battery become too hot
during the operation of the tool. This can happen when the tool is overloaded or
being used for extended periods of time .
Up to 30min in cooling time may be required depending on ambient temperature
and operation being performed.
Over Current Protection
Should the battery be overloaded and the maximum current draw be exceeded
the battery will temporarily stop working to protect the internal components. The
battery will resume to normal operation once the excessive current draw has
returned to normal safe level. This may take a few seconds.
Short Circuit Protection
If the battery pack was to short circuit the short circuit protector would immediately
stop the battery pack from operating.
This will ensure that no further internal components of the battery or the tools are
damaged.
