TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.

when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that

no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps
or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.

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.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION

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 product
automatically. To restart, switch the product off and then
on again. If the product does not start up again, the battery
pack may have discharged completely. In this case it must
be recharged in the battery charger.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:

Use the product only for its intended use. Do not alter or
modify the product from the original design or function.
