RIDGID RBC 10 Li-Ion Charger - Manual (Page 6)

Storage
Store the charger and batteries in a dry,
secured, locked area that is out of reach of children and
people unfamiliar with proper charger operation.
The battery packs and charger should be protected a -
gainst hard impacts, moisture and humidity, dust and
dirt, extreme high and low temperatures, and chemical
solutions and vapors.
Long term storage in the fully charged state,
the fully discharged state or in temperatures above 95°F
(35°C) can permanently reduce the capacity of a bat-
tery pack.
Battery Transport
The battery is tested according to UN document
ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev/3 Part III, subsection 38.3. It has
effective protection against internal overpressure and
short circuiting as well as devices for the prevention of
violent rupture and dangerous reverse current flow.
The lithium-equivalent content in the battery is below
applicable limit values. Therefore, the battery is not sub-
ject to national or international regulations pertaining to
dangerous mediums, neither as an individual compo-
nent nor when inserted into a machine. However, the
regulations governing dangerous goods may be relevant
when transporting several batteries. In this case, it may be
necessary to comply with special conditions (e.g., con-
cerning the packaging).

WARNING
Improper service or repair can make the machine
unsafe to operate.

tery packs. Do not attempt to open charger or battery
