Lithium-ion batteries perform best and deliver peak output power at room temperature
(20
℃
or 68
℉
). When operated in lower temperatures, the battery output will be reduced
and it will NOT function below -20
℃
(14
℉
). The output power will increase as the heat
generated by the battery during use increases the internal temperature of the battery.
The result is increased power as the tool is used.
Lithium-ion batteries do not have a “memory” and do not require to be completely
discharged periodically. It is recommended that you charge your Lithium-ion batteries
after each use so they will be fully charged when needed.
NOTE:
A fully charged battery will lose about 2% of its charge per month during storage.
To preserve our natural resources, please recycle or dispose of batteries properly.
