5.4.3 Charging the batteries from the mains
The battery‘s charging socket is identified by a plug connector. To charge the
equipment, connect the power supply to the socket outlet and charging
socket. During charging, the charge status display light („Charging“) in the
battery housing flashes. After completion of the charging process this light
remains on permanently. To obtain more detailed information it is possible
to connect the tiller with the battery during the charging process. In this
case the tillers display will show the „Charging“ function and the charge
status in percent.
• Never open the battery housing. Protect the
battery against mechanical damages. In case of damage to the
battery housing: - Stop using the battery and stop
recharging the battery. Fire hazard!
- In case of electrolyte leakage from the damaged battery: avoid contact with the
skin and direct inhalation of the gases. In case of inadvertent contact with the
electrolyte discharged from the battery (e.g. contact with the skin or eyes),
immediately rinse the affected areas with copious amounts of water. Seek medical
attention immediately.

instructions on how to dispose of the damaged
battery.
• Never short-circuit the battery.
