IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged after about 4 hours.
Allow the battery to cool down before charging. (NOTE: A very hot battery connected to the
charger will not charge.)
DO NOT charge the battery pack in a location with an air temperature below 4C or above 40C.
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. Longest battery life and best
performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
approximately 24C.
While charging, the charge may hum or become warm to the touch. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
•
Check the main power supply by plugging in a lamp or another appliance into that power
point.
•
Check the fuse on the main powerboard to ensure it has not blown.
•
Move the charger and battery pack out of any sunlight to an area where the temperature is
below 40C.
•
If the battery still does not charge, there may be an issue with the product and it should be
removed from service until it is corrected.
The battery pack needs to be charged before first use, and should be recharged whenever it fails to
product sufficient power to do the jobs that were easily done previously. DO NOT continue using
the product with the battery pack in a depleted condition.
To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the battery pack on the charger for extended periods of time
(over 30 days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly
reduce overall battery life.
The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during normal usage.
There is no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging. Normal usage is the best
method of discharging and recharging the batteries.
