BATTERY CHARGING INFORMATION
CHARGING RATES
Battery charging rates are determined by the time
taken to fully charge the battery and are determined
by the charge current. The three most commonly used
charging rates are typically:
Fast charge
Slow charge
Trickle charge
FAST CHARGE BATTERIES
The charging rates for fast charge batteries can vary
between 30 minutes and 90 minutes. The charging
rate for the battery supplied with a cordless power
tool is stated in the product manual.
SLOW CHARGE BATTERIES
The charging rates for slow charge batteries are
between 3 Hours and 5 Hours.
TRICKLE CHARGE BATTERIES
The charging rates for trickle charge batteries are
between 7 Hours and 9 Hours.
Important!
FULLY CHARGE A NEW BATTERY BEFORE FIRST
USE
CHARGING PROCEDURE
When charging a new battery it should be fully
charged before using the tool for the first time this
procedure will ensure the optimum operation of the
battery. After charging for the first time subsequent
charges can be performed at any time. Interrupting
the charge will not damage the battery or affect
performance.
When repeatedly using the charger to charge a
number of batteries always allow the charger to cool
down before charging another battery. It is
recommended that the cooling down period is not
less than 30 to 45 minutes.
When charging a battery that has been discharged
during heavy use allow the battery to cool down
before charging. It is recommended that the cooling
down period is not less than 30 to 45 minutes.
Batteries need to be recharged with a reasonable
amount of care, largely because they can be damaged
by overcharging.
SELF DISCHARGE
A lithium battery can self discharge and lose its stored
charge. Typically it can lose approximately 5% of its
charge in the first month after fully charging (when
stored at room temperature), and then loses it by a
further 3% per month. When stored at higher
temperatures the self discharge rate will be
accelerated.
BATTERY CHARGING INDOORS
This charger is designed to be used indoors. We do
not recommend that it is used inside your home.
Ideally batteries should be charged on a bench in a
workshop, garage or shed. If the charging operation is
to be carried out in your home the area must be well
ventilated and the charger must be placed on a non
combustible surface ensuring that the ventilation slots
are not blocked. Never exceed the charging time as
this could damage the battery and charger.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
When the battery fails to charge or maintain its
charge, its usable life is exhausted. To preserve
natural resources, please recycle or dispose of the
battery pack properly. This battery pack contains
lithium cells. Before disposal ensure that the battery
pack is fully discharged by operating your cordless
product then remove the battery pack from the
product and cover the battery pack connections with
heavy duty tape, to prevent short circuit and energy
discharge which could result in a fire. Do not attempt
to open or remove any of the components. Consult
your local waste authority for information regarding
available recycling and / or disposal options.
RE-CHARGEABLE BATTERIES
Batteries may leak or explode if not charged or
handled correctly. Always observe the following
precautions when handling batteries.
Ensure that the machine is switched off before
removing or fitting batteries.
Do not use this battery with any other product.
Do not attempt to fit the battery the wrong way round.
Do not short out, or attempt to dismantle the battery.
Do not expose the battery to flames or excessive
heat.
Do not immerse in or expose the battery to water.
Do not store or transport the battery with loose metal
objects such drill and driver bits.
Batteries are prone to leakage when discharged. To
avoid damage to the product, remove or re-charge the
battery when no charge remains.
Store the battery in a cool place when not in use.
After prolonged use the battery may become hot.
Before removing the battery, switch the machine off
and allow the battery to cool down.
Do not use the battery if you notice any discoloration
or distortion of the battery casing.
Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket
or toolbox or any other place where it may come into
contact with metal objects. The battery pack may be
short-circuited causing damage to the battery pack,
burns or a fire.
