7.Remove Battery from appliance when not in use for a long period of time.
8.Always store Battery in a cool dry area away from direct sunlight.
9.To maintain optimum Battery performance, always fully discharge and recharge the Battery at least once every 3 months.
10.In order to maintain optimum Battery performance, it is recommended not to leave the Battery completely discharged for more that six (6) months.
Important Charging Notes
1.The Battery Pack may only charge to approximately 80% of its maximum capacity with its first few charge cycles. However, after the first few full charged / discharged cycles, the Battery will charge to full capacity.
2.A substantial drop in operating time per charge may indicate the Battery is near the end of its useful life and should be replaced.
3.For longer periods of inactivity (1 month or more), it is best to run the Battery down until it is fully discharged before storing the Battery Pack. After long periods of storage, the capacity at first recharge will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored in two or three charges and discharge cycles. Remember to also unplug the Charger unit during storage period.
4.The Charger unit was designed to charge the Battery in
5.If the Battery does not charge properly:
a.Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in another standard electrical device and verifying the outlet is active.
b.Verify that the outlet is not connected to a light switch that is in the “off” position.
c.Check Battery Pack terminals for dirt or debris. Clean off the terminals with cotton swabs and alcohol if necessary.
6.If the Battery does not reach its fully charged state (green LED illuminated on Charger) replace Battery.
Note: Use of Chargers or Battery Packs not sold by Jarden Consumer Solutions will void the warranty.
Charging a Hot Battery Pack
When using the appliance continuously, the batteries in the Battery Pack may become hot. A hot Battery Pack should be allowed to cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the Battery Pack becomes discharged and is hot, this will cause the red LED to blink rapidly. After 30 minutes, reinsert the Battery Pack in the Charger.
Disposing of Battery
Do not attempt to disassemble the Battery or remove any component projecting from the Battery terminals. Fire or injury may result. Protect any exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape prior to disposal.
