Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10 ﾟ C - 40 ﾟ C (50 ﾟ F - 104 ﾟ F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
