If the machine is not going to be used for a long period of time,
recharge the battery before storing. From time to time recharge the
battery for a short period of time, to prevent it from running down.
Store the battery separately in the plastic case.
Discharging the battery
Not only charging batteries is important, discharging is of equal
importance or even greater importance.
• When the battery is charged the machine has to be used until you start
noticing that the power is diminishing and that the maximum rotational
speed is not reached.
• The battery is almost discharged now. Only now can you start charging
the battery.
• If you charge the battery while it is still charged for say one-third of capa-
city, the so-called ‘memory effect’ can occur. Since during charging only
the discharged part of the battery capacity of the battery is being charged
now, the battery can start crystallizing in the one-third that is still charged.
This part of the battery capacity can never be used afterwards.
• Do not discharge the battery to the minimum. As soon as you notice
that the power or the maximum rotational speed is diminishing, you
have to charge the battery. When you proceed using the drill and the
battery becomes fully discharged, the so-called ‘switch of poles effect’ can
occur. The polarity of the battery poles will be switched: the ‘+’will be-
come ‘-‘ and the ‘-‘ will become the ‘+’. Once this has occurred the polarity
will remain switched during loading and this will damage the battery ir-
reparable.
When the machine is not being used over a longer period of time,
the battery has to be charged fully first. The battery has to be stored
in a charged condition.
