ticular vehicle, please refer to the vehicle’s

operating instructions.

TO CHARGE THE TMH™ FLEXPAK™ BATTERY PACK, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Plug the battery charger into standard wall outlet

2. Hold the battery pack fully open, with the metal contacts at the top, as shown. The labels marked 1 and 2 in the

upper left-hand corner should be facing you. Now slide the battery pack securely into the charger.

3. To disconnect, push the red button on the side of the charger. Hold the red button down while you slide out the

battery pack.

4. New battery packs must be charged for 51/2hours the first two times charged. After that, charges will require

only 4 hours.

5. After charging, the battery pack will feel warm. This is normal for fully charged batteries.

6. Unlike alkaline batteries, which lose power gradually, your TMH FlexPak battery will run for its normal running

time, depending on your particular vehicle, and then lose most of its power at once. It is now time to recharge the battery pack.

7. Unlike NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) rechargeable batteries, your TMH FlexPak battery pack may be recharged at any

time, irrespective of the level of charge remaining in the battery: you do not have to wait until the battery pack is fully discharged to recharge it.

8. After use, the battery pack will be hot! Wait at least 20 minutes until the battery pack cools down before

recharging. Recharging a hot battery will greatly reduce the number of times your battery pack can be recharged.
