Charging the Battery
The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that al-
lows charging only in the temperature range between 0 °C
and 45 °C. In this manner, a high battery service life is
achieved.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)" protects the lithium-
ion battery against deep discharging. When the battery is
discharged, the machine is switched off by means of a pro-
tective circuit: The garden product no longer operates.

Charging Procedure
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of
the charger is plugged into a socket outlet and the battery
(6) is inserted onto the charger (10).
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condi-
tion of the battery is automatically detected and the battery
is charged with the optimum charging current, depending on
battery temperature and voltage.
This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully
charged when kept in the charger for storage.
