MATCO CORDLESS BATTERY USE AND CARE GUIDE
IMPORTANT!
All rechargeable batteries have a finite lifespan and will slowly
lose storage capacity as they age and are cycled . Rechargeable
batteries are consumable items and should be carefully treated
to ensure proper operation during its limited lifespan . Please
read the following guide carefully for tips that may maximize
the performance of your Matco rechargeable batteries . Batteries
should be handled with care and disposed through proper
authorities .
WARNING! MUST READ!
Do not crush or incinerate batteries as it may cause danger
from explosion.
Do not place batteries in confined spaces where it may be
in contact with conductive objects. For example, do not
place battery in pockets, light boxes, light bags, etc. with
screws, keys, metal shavings, etc. as the battery may short
circuit and/or cause fire hazard.
Only charge in Matco chargers and never attempt to wire to
alternative charging sources
Danger of explosion, electric shock, fire, and electrocution may
result from:
- Abuse, misuse, and severe shock
- Subjecting the unit to conductive particles, objects,
and liquids
- Connecting two chargers together
- Charging Matco batteries with other chargers
- Using the Matco charger to charge other batteries
- Operating the charger with a damaged cord or plug
PROPER CARE WILL MAXIMIZE PRODUCT LIFE
Please note that there are differences in the care of
Lithium-Ion and Nickel-Cadmium batteries.
PROPER CARE FOR MATCO INFINIUM
LITHIUM-ION (LI-ION) BATTERIES
- All Li-ion batteries are sensitive to high temperature and
should be kept cool, dry, and out of direct light exposure . Ideal
temperature range for operation and storage is between 32 and
75 °F . Li-ion batteries may be stored in the refrigerator,
but freezers are not recommended .
- Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time,
especially when it is fully charged or fully discharged . Bring a
Li-ion battery to approximately 50% charge level before storing .
- Li-ion batteries are sensitive to shock . Avoid dropping,
hitting, or exposure to vibration .
- Li-ion can be charged frequently and recharged before it
is fully depleted . Li-ion, in fact, is ideally recharged before it
is completely depleted . Recharging when there is 25%-50%
capacity remaining in the battery may prolong its lifespan .
- Contaminants can adversely affect the performance and life
of Li-ion batteries . Minimize the battery's exposure to dust, dirt,
and small particles .
MUC122LED
MUC122LED 12V LITHIUM-ION LED FLASHLIGHT
- Recharge Matco Li-ion batteries only in Matco recharging
devices that are designed specifically for the battery type .
Never subject batteries to any other quick-charging, quick-
discharging, or quick-restoring devices .
PROPER CARE FOR MATCO NICKEL-CADMIUM
(NI-CD) BATTERIES
- Ni-Cd batteries are sensitive to high temperatures and
should be kept cool, dry, and out of direct light exposure . Ideal
operating and storage temperature is between 32 and 70 °F .
Ni-Cd batteries may be stored in a refrigerator, but freezers are
not recommended .
- Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time .
Store Ni-Cd batteries fully discharged in a cool and dry place .
- Ni-Cd batteries are sensitive to shock . Avoid dropping,
hitting, or exposure to vibration .
- Ni-Cd batteries should be fully discharged inside the
light before recharging . Furthermore, the battery should be
fully charged before it is removed from the charger . Frequent
charges and removals at intermitting levels may reduce the
capacity of the battery .
- Perform the "Refresh Cycle" for Ni-Cd batteries inside the
Matco MUCHRG1 Universal Charger on a monthly basis . For
light usage, perform this function once every three months .
Note that this feature is not applicable or necessary for Li-ion
batteries .
- Contaminants can adversely affect the performance and life
of Ni-Cd batteries . Minimize the battery's exposure to dust, dirt,
and small particles .
- Recharge Matco Ni-Cd batteries only in Matco recharging
devices that are designed specifically for the battery type . Never
subject batteries to other quick-charging, quick-discharging, or
quick-restoring devices .
