– Protect battery packs from moisture, water and

heat.

– Do not leave flat battery packs in a charger dis-

connected from the mains power supply for lon-
ger than one month. Danger of deep discharge!

– If you intend to store li-ion battery packs for lon-

ger periods without use, you should charge them
to 40 % capacity (approx. 15 min charging time).

– To avoid short circuits the battery pack should be

stored in the packaging supplied.

– Significantly shorter operating times after each

charge indicate that the battery pack is worn and
should be replaced with a new one.
