To obtain the best life for the battery
Never allow the tool to completely drain the battery and
come to a complete stand still before recharging. The
battery should be placed on charge whenever the battery
is noticeably running down or the tool no longer performs a
task it previously performed. For storage, charge between
50 and 75%. Avoid allowing loose items like screws or nails
etc. to be stored with battery packs as these or similar items
can short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.
Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in
a dry secure place.
Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures
below 0ºC and above 40ºC.
