Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to
ensure that we supply you with batteries which feature maximum power
density, durability and safety. The battery cells have a wide range of
safety devices. Each individual cell is initially formatted and its electrical
characteristic curves are recorded. These data are then used exclusively
to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs. Despite all the
safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when handling
batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure
safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used.
Incorrect handling can cause cell damage.
Important.
Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care are the main causes of
the damage caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
•
Ensure that the equipment is switched off before you insert the
battery. Inserting a battery into an electric tool that is switched on
can cause accidents.
•
The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is not charged. The
battery pack has to be charged before you use the tool for the first
time.
•
For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles.
Charge the battery pack frequently.
•
Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 15°C and charged to
at least 40%.
•
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural ageing process. The
battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to
just 60% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery
pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements
and therefore pose a safety risk.
•
Do not throw battery packs into an open fire. There is a risk of
explosion!
•
Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
