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.
nIcad and/or lI-Ion chargIng &
chargerS
NiCad and/or Li-Ion batteries need to be
recharged with a reasonable amount of
care, largely because they can be
damaged by overcharging.
Overcharging can result in the battery
temperature and internal pressure to rise
rapidly. This can cause the cells to distort
and lose electrolyte, and in extreme
cases where the internal pressure is
extremely high they can even explode.
This situation can also arise when an
overcharged battery is fitted to the
product and is being used. In order to
avoid this extreme situation it is of vital
importance that NiCad and/or Li-Ion
batteries are fully discharged before
charging and that the charge time is not
exceeded except when “Conditioning” a
new battery. Repeated charging of
partially discharged batteries could cause
failure of one or more of the cells.
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
except when “Conditioning” a new
battery, 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
nickel-cadmium cells.
Before disposal ensure that the battery
pack is fully discharged by operating
your cordless product then remove the
battery pack from the drill housing 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.
