6 Before use
6.1 Battery use and care
NOTE
Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Use a battery only when
it has been fully charged. This ensures that maximum battery capacity is
available. Change to the second battery as soon as a drop in performance
is noticed. Recharge the battery immediately so that it is ready for reuse.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Never store the battery where it is
exposed to direct sunlight or sources of heat, e.g. on heaters / radiators or
behind a motor vehicle windscreen. Batteries that have reached the end of
their life must be disposed of safely and correctly to avoid environmental
pollution.
6.2 Charging the battery
DANGER
Use only the Hilti batteries and Hilti chargers listed under “Accessories”.
6.2.1 Charging a new battery for the first time
Charge the battery fully before using it for the first time.
6.2.2 Charging a previously used battery
Ensure that the outer surfaces of the battery are clean and dry before
inserting it in the corresponding charger.
Read the operating instructions for the charger for further information about
the charging procedure.
Li-ion batteries are ready for use at any time, even when only partly charged.
Charging progress is indicated by the LED display (see charger operating
instructions).
