BaTTERy pROTEcTiON FEaTUREs
Ryobi 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximise
battery life. Under some operating conditions, these
built-in features may cause the battery and the tool
it is powering to act differently from nickel-cadmium
batteries.
During some applications, the battery electronics may
signal the battery to shut down, causing the tool to stop
running. To reset the battery and tool, release the trigger
and resume normal operation.
NOTE:
To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid
forcing the tool.
If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and
tool, the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery
pack will begin charging when placed on a lithium-ion
charger.
