Battery and charger safety features
Over Charging Protection
The Over charge protection will ensure that the battery is never overcharged. When the
battery has reached its 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 censor which will cease the charging cycle if
the battery becomes hot during the charging process. This Thermister censor 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 30 min. 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 form operating.
This will ensure that no further internal components of the battery or the tools are dam-
aged.
Battery
The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of work you are
doing. The battery in this drill have been designed to provide maximum trouble free life.
However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
•
Store and charge your battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal
room temperature will shorten battery life.
•
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately after they
are discharged.
•
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker they
lose their charge. If you store your drill for long periods of time without using it, re-
charge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.
