- Insert the battery into the charger, ensuring proper alignment. The charger's indicator light will typically show the charging status.
- Allow the battery to charge completely. Refer to your charger's manual for specific charging times and indicator light meanings.
- Do not overcharge the battery. Once fully charged, remove it from the charger.
General Usage
- Ensure the battery is securely attached to the tool before operation.
- Monitor the tool's performance. If the tool's power decreases significantly, the battery may need recharging.
- Avoid operating tools in extremely hot or cold conditions, as this can affect battery performance and lifespan.
Maintenance and Storage
- Cleaning: Keep the battery contacts clean and free of dirt or debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe them if necessary. Do not use liquids or solvents.
- Storage: Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 25°C (50°F and 77°F).
- Long-Term Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50-70% capacity. Recharge it every 3-6 months to prevent deep discharge, which can permanently damage Ni-MH cells.
