Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack
to ensure that we supply you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery cells have a wide
range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially formatted and
its electrical characteristic curves are recorded. These data are then
used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery
packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always
be exercised when handling batteries. The following points
must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used.
Incorrect handling can cause cell damage.
Important:
Analyses con
fi
rm that incorrect use and poor care are the
main causes of the damage caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is not charged.
The battery pack has to be charged before you use the tool for the
fi
rst time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles.
Charge the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 15°C and char-
ged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural ageing process. The
battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls
to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged
battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power re-
quirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open
fi
re. There is a risk of ex-
plosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fi
re.
7.
Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive dischar-
ge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of
