instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.
•Thelongestlifeandbestperformancecanbeobtainedifthebatterypackis
charged when the air temperature is 59-77 °F (15-25 °C). Do not charge the battery
pack where the air temperature is below 32 °F (0 °C) or above 113 °F (45 °C). This is
important and will prevent damage to the battery pack.
•Donotincineratethebatterypackevenifitisseriouslydamagedoriscompletely
worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.
•Neverattempttoopenthebatterypackforanyreason.Iftheplastichousingofthe
battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
•Thelengthofservicefromyourbatterywilldependonthetypeofworkyou

However, like all batteries, it will eventually wear out.
•Toobtainthelongestpossiblebatterylife,wesuggestthefollowing:
- Store and charge your battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below
normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
- Never store the battery in a discharged condition. Recharge it immediately after
it has been discharged.
•Allbatteriesgraduallylosetheircharge.Thehigherthetemperature,thequicker
they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without use,
recharge the battery every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.
