Charging the Battery

The charging time depends on several factors, e.g.
temperature of the battery or the ambient temperature. The
actual charging time may differ from the specified charging
time. For specified charging times see www.stihl.com/
charging-times.
The charging process starts automatically
when the plug is inserted in a wall outlet and
the battery is fitted in the charger. The
charger switches itself off automatically when
the battery is fully charged.
The battery and charger heat up during the charging
