(2)Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery.
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in the Table 3, and batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

Rechargeable | Temperatures at which the |
batteries | battery can be recharged |
BSL1415X, | |
BSL1815X |
(3)Regarding recharging time (At 68°F (20°C)) Depending on the combination of the charger and batteries, the recharging time will become as shown in Table 3.

NOTE:
The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source voltage.
4.Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.
CAUTION
●Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord.
Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.

5.Remove the battery from the battery charger. Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger.
NOTE:
After operation, pull out batteries from the charger first, and then keep the batteries properly.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1)Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.
(2)Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
●When the battery charger has been continuosly used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.
●If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.
