• Immediately stop using a damaged battery.
In order to maximise the use of this battery, please consider the following:
The battery will not charge when exposed to temperatures below +0°C or
above +60°C. It is therefore recommended to keep the battery at room
temperature before charging it.
The charger operates with a microcomputer system with automated control
functions. It automatically stops charging when the battery is full. It cannot be
damaged by overcharging.
None the less, we strongly recommend to always disconnect the power plug
from the wall socket after the battery is charged as power surges, i.e. lightning,
through the grid can damage the charger or battery electronics!
When storing the battery for a longer time period, (>3 months, e.g. over
winter) it is important to place it in a dry and cool place. Furthermore it is from
advantage to have the battery only at about 80% charge. There is usually no
need to recharge the battery.
