LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS
Lithium-ion batteries deliver fade free power for their entire
run time. Lithium-ion tools will not gradually lose power due
to decreasing battery charge. Instead, power from the battery
pack will drop from full to zero once the full charge has been
drained from the battery. Once this happens, recharging of
the battery is required. It is not necessary to drain the battery
pack completely before recharging.
BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Lithium-ion battery packs are designed with features that
protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life.
If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and
resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery
needs to be recharged.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures
down to 14°F (-10°C). Put the battery pack on a tool and use
the tool in a light duty application. After about a minute, the
pack will warm up and begin operating normally.
