Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
Charge the battery cartridge before completely

charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.

service life.

perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.

it from the tool or the charger.
Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use

it for a long period (more than six months).
