Battery with lithium-ion technology
Total discharge protection
The "Electronic discharge protection function" pro-
tects the LI battery against total discharge. Should
the battery discharge, the power tool is switched
off by a protective circuit. The power tool stops
operating.
-WARNING-
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch II
after an automatic shutdown of the power tool.
The battery could be damaged.
Temperature-dependent overload protec-
tion
The LI battery is equipped with NTC temperature
monitoring which only permits charging within a
temperature range of 0 °C - 50 °C. This ensures
long battery service life.
Battery care
Never charge batteries at temperatures lower than
0°C or higher than 50°C.
Never charge batteries in an environment with high
air humidity or a high ambient temperature.
If the batteries are not used for a prolonged period,
store them partially charged in a cool place.
IMPORTANT! Batteries will also self-discharge while
the equipment is not in use. Charge the batteries
regularly to prevent this.
Or even better: Insert the battery into the charger
while it is plugged into the mains and ready for
operation, as the charger switches to trickle charge
when the charging process is completed. This is the
best course of action with regard to the service life of
the battery and in order to keep it fully operational.
Do not leave the battery in the charger when the
charger is not ready for operation.
Charge the battery regularly to ensure maximum
service life. This is especially important if you notice
that the device is no longer functioning at full power.
To ensure maximum service life, do not recharge
the battery immediately when it has only been in
use for a short period. If possible, wait until it has
reached its lower capacity limit before recharging it.
