Automatic Refresh
The automatic refresh mode will equalise or balance
the individual cells in the battery pack at its peak
capacity. Battery packs should be refreshed weekly
or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same
amount of work.
To refresh your battery pack, place the battery in the
charger as usual. Leave the battery pack for at least
8 hours in the charger.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
DEEP DISCHARGE PROTECTION
The battery pack is protected against deep
discharging when it is used in the tool.
Important Safety Instructions for
All Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure
to include catalog number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the
carton. Before using the battery pack and charger,
read the safety instructions below. Then follow
charging procedures outlined.
