Charging Tips for Maximum
Performance
•Store and charge the unit in an area where temperatures are between 50˚ F (10˚ C) and 100˚ F (38˚ C).
•Storing the unit or batteries in an area above 100˚ F (38˚ C) will reduce battery life.
•Storage below 50˚ F (10˚ C) will not reduce battery life, but may require a longer charging time.
•Store the unit on the charging station when not in use. The unit is designed so that the battery cannot be overcharged.
NOTE: The charging indicator light will remain lit when the unit is properly installed in the charging station.
Temperature Effects on Charging Time
•50˚ F (10˚ C) to 100˚ F (38˚ C) – Battery will be charged within 24 hours.
•40˚ F (4 ˚C) to 50˚ F (10˚ C) – Battery will require up to 48 hours for a full charge.
•Below 40˚ F (4 ˚C) – Battery will not reach full charge.
Unit run time will be reduced when the battery is not fully charged.
