battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. 

Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial

cause a short circuit.

Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or 

by burning them. AEG Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to 

protect our environment.

Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short 

circuit risk).

Use only System AEG chargers for charging System AEG battery 

packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.

No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the 

charger (short circuit risk).

Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry 

rooms. Keep dry at all times.

Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load 

or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash 

it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse 

thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical 

attention.

BATTERIES

Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be 

recharged before use.

Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of 

the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk 

of overheating).

The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.

For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, 

after used.

To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack 

from the charger once it is fully charged.

For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:

•  Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and 

away from moisture.

•  Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.

•  Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods 

Legislation requirements.

Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with 

local, national and international provisions and regulations.

•  The user can transport the batteries by road without further 

requirements.

•  Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is 

subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation 

and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately 

trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by 

corresponding experts.

When transporting batteries:

•  Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated 

to prevent short circuit.

•  Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within 

packaging.

•  Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak. 

Check with forwarding company for further advice.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION LI-ION BATTERY

The battery pack has overload protection that protects it from being 

overloaded and helps to ensure long life. Under extreme stress the 

battery electronics switch off the machine automatically. To restart, 

switch the machine off and then on again. If the machine does not 

start up again, the battery pack may have discharged completely. In 

this case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
