Caution concerning the battery pack
i
Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals (contacts) of the
battery pack
Do not touch the battery pack terminals with your bare hands. Doing so will
allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and
oxidize, increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance
increases, the usable life of the battery pack will diminish.
