For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C

•

When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery from the

charger.

•

If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, and the battery has no charge remaining

when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a

new battery.

•

Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

•

Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate the

battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.

•

Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.

•

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles,

whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully

recharged again

•

Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat, for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not store

batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

•

Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ﬂame. Exploding batteries

can propel debris and chemicals.

•

Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

•

Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

•

Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal injury

may result.

•

Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

•

Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected from the

battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention, and flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean water for at least 10

minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•

Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to local

regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery life being

reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating or fire may result.
