Battery Pack Protection
To protect itself from damage and extend its life, the V28 battery pack's intelligent circuit will turn off the battery pack if its internal temperature becomes too high. This could happen in extremely high torque, binding and stalling situations. The pack must be placed on the charger to turn it back on. The charger's light indicator will flash red, indicating that the pack is too hot. Once the light is continuously red, the pack has cooled and can be used again.
