Safety Precautions
The battery is not fully charged at the factory. It is recommended to charge the new
battery for 5 hours before using it. Also, batteries that may have set longer than 2 months
since the last charge should be charged before using it. The battery capacity will be
optimum after being charged/discharged two or three times. When the battery’s charge is
depleted, charge the battery or replace the battery with a new one.
Caution:
1. Do not short circuit the battery terminals or discard the battery in fire. Never attempt
to disassemble the battery.
2. Never charge a battery that is wet. Please dry it with soft cloth prior to charge.
3. Do not return fully charged batteries to the charger for an “extra boost”. This action
will significantly reduce battery life.
4. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as
household waste.
