.... use only specified chargers.

 

2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

.... avoid repeated charging without fully discharging.

.... charge in an environment where tempera- tures are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer tempera- tures can prevent complete charging.

.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure

to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.

.... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.
