●To prevent damage and prolong service life
...do not subject to unnecessary shock.
...charge in an environment where temperatures are
within the tolerances shown in the chart below.
This is a chemical reaction type battery — cooler
temperatures impede chemical reaction, while
warmer temperatures can prevent complete
charging.
...store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to
high temperatures will increase natural discharge
and shorten service life.
...fully charge and then fully discharge the battery
every 6 months when storing the battery pack over
a long period time.
...remove from charger or powered unit when not in
use, as some machines use current even when
switched off.
