over charging protection
This feature ensures that the battery is never overcharged. When the battery has
reached it’s full charge capacity the charger will shut off protecting the internal com-
ponents of the battery from being damaged.
over discharge protection
An internal component of the battery pack is an over discharge protector. This fea-
ture will stop the battery from discharging beyond the recommended lowest safety
voltage.
over heat protection
The battery has an internal thermister cut off sensor which will cease the charging
cycle if the battery becomes hot during the charging process. This thermister sensor
will also stop the battery from operating should the battery become too hot during
the operation of the tool. This can happen when the tool is overloaded or being
used for extended periods of time .
Up to 30min in cooling time may be required depending on ambient temperature
and the operation being performed.
over current protection
Should the battery be overloaded and the maximum current draw be exceeded the
battery will temporarily stop working to protect the internal components. The bat-
tery will resume normal operation once the excessive current draw has returned to a
normal level. This may take a few seconds.
Short circuit protection
If the battery pack was to short circuit the short circuit protector would immediately
stop the battery pack from operating. This will prevent further internal components
of the battery or the tools becoming damaged.
