can overheat and break.
17. Longer life and better performance can be
obtained if the battery pack is charged when the
air temperature is between 18°C and 24°C. Do not
charge the battery pack in air temperatures below
4.5°C, or above 40.5°C. This is important as it can
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
18. Charge only battery pack of the same model
provided by WORX and of models recommended by

operated at normal room temperature (20°C ± 5°C).
13. When disposing of battery packs, keep battery packs
of different electrochemical systems separate from
each other.
14. Recharge only with the charger specified by
POSITEC. A charger that is suitable for one type of
