Battery and charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may be triggered during charging
or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when the battery has reached full charge
capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging beyond the recommended lowest
safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the battery becomes too hot during operation. This can
happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods of time. Up to 30 minutes cooling time
may be required depending on the ambient temperature
• Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the maximum current draw is
exceeded, protecting the internal components. The battery will resume normal operation when the current
draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few seconds
• Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a short circuit occurs, this prevents
damage to the battery or tool
