Battery Charging and Capacity
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully
charge it before using it for the first time.
When stored in room temperature with a full charge, lithium
batteries will begin to discharge from the time they are
manufactured, even when unused. Deep discharges also decrease
their capacity.
Battery life can be extended by the following:
• Charge battery to full capacity before storage.
• Store this unit at the temperature ranges of 5°C and 20°C (41°F
and 68°F).
• Never fully discharge the battery.
• Charge after each use.
• Always charge at least once every 3-6 months if not in frequent
use to prevent over-discharge.
Transportation of Lithium Batteries
• Always check all applicable local, national, and international
regulations before transporting a unit containing a lithium battery.
• Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in
certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.
Extension Cords
WARNING – Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk
of fire and electric shock. When using an extension cord, make sure
that the pins of the extension cord are the same number, size and
shape as those in the charger; and be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
