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 car-

tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery 

service life.

3. 

Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-

perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let 

a hot battery cartridge cool down before 

charging it.

4. 

When not using the battery cartridge, remove 

it from the tool or the charger.

5. 

Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use 

it for a long period (more than six months).
