The maximum capacity of the battery pack is only achieved once it has been charged
and discharged several times.

The battery pack can remain connected to the battery charger for an indefinite period of
time, because it is protected against overcharging.

charger (connected to a power source) at all times. When the battery pack is full, the
battery charger automatically switches on and off at regular intervals to keep the battery
level at 100%.

After deep discharge of the battery pack, charge the battery pack for 24 hours. If the
battery pack is not completely charged after 24 hours, contact your local Holmatro
dealer.
