Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before
completely discharged. Always stop tool
operation and charge the battery cartridge
when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery
cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
