Protect batteries from extremes of temperature at all times, but especially whilst
charging.
Minimum 4°C.
Maximum 40°C.
Avoid placing batteries in direct strong sunlight or any other heat source. If the
battery becomes warm, disconnect and allow it to cool down for a few minutes.
Nickel cadmium batteries will slowly lose their power whilst in storage.
If they become fully discharged, no not leave the batteries in this state for any
length of time.
IMPORTANT:
The full capacity of a Ni-Cad battery will
only
be realised if it is allowed to
discharge almost completely before once again being recharged.
Constant topping up after only a small amount of charge has been used
will, in effect, reduce its capacity
Two batteries are supplied which should allow constant use of the drill
over long periods, if required.
BATTERIES - IMPORTANT NOTES
After being recharged many times, nickel cadmium batteries will eventually lose
their ability to hold the charge. This will be evident if power is lost much sooner
than usual after a complete recharge. In this case, such batteries should be
replaced. Dispose of old batteries with consideration for the environment. They
may be returned by post to the Clarke Parts and Service Centre ( see below)
where you can be assured they will be disposed of safely. Alternatively, seek advice
from your local waste disposal authority. Do not incinerate or crush, as this will
increase the risk of explosion and contamination. If the battery contents should
under any circumstance be spilt wash away with soap and plenty of water. Vinegar
or lemon juice will also help to neutralise the harmful effects of the battery contents.
If these come into contact with skin or more especially the eyes, rinse with clean
water for several minutes and seek medical advice immediately afterwards.
