(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable
battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in Table 5, and batteries that have become hot
should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an extended
period is not activated, the electric discharge might
be low when using them the first and second time.
This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time
required for recharging will be restored by recharging
the batteries 2 – 3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery
and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION:
When the battery charger has been continuosly used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next
charging.
If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to
battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp
lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off
for 0.5 seconds).
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let
the battery cool before charging.
Battery overheated. Unable
to charge (Charging will
commence when battery
cools).
