– Protect battery packs from moisture, water and
heat.
– Do not leave flat battery packs in a charger dis-
connected from the mains power supply for lon-
ger than one month. Danger of deep discharge!
– If you intend to store li-ion battery packs for lon-
ger periods without use, you should charge them
to 40 % capacity (approx. 15 min charging time).
– To avoid short circuits the battery pack should be
stored in the packaging supplied.
– Significantly shorter operating times after each
charge indicate that the battery pack is worn and
should be replaced with a new one.
