5. Maintenance and Storage

General Maintenance

• Keep the battery pack clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth if necessary.
• Regularly inspect the battery for any signs of damage, such as cracks, swelling, or corrosion on the terminals.
• Do not attempt to repair a damaged battery pack. Contact customer support for assistance.

Storage

• Store the battery in a dry, clean, cool place away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and metal objects that could cause a short circuit.
• If the battery is not used for a long period of time (e.g., several months), it is recommended to use it at least once every two to three weeks to maintain its health and prevent deep discharge.
• For long-term storage, store the battery partially charged (around 50%) rather than fully charged or completely depleted to maximize its lifespan.

6. Troubleshooting

Battery Not Charging

• Ensure the charger is properly plugged into a working power outlet.
• Verify the battery is correctly seated on the charger, making full contact with the terminals.
• Check for any visible damage to the battery or charger. If damaged, do not use.
• Allow the battery to cool down if it was recently used heavily, as some chargers will not charge an overheated battery.

Reduced Run Time

• Ensure the battery is fully charged before each use.
• The battery may be nearing the end of its expected lifespan. Lithium-ion batteries gradually lose capacity over time and charge cycles.
• Operating in extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold) can significantly affect battery performance and run time.

Battery Overheating During Use or Charging

• Stop using or charging the battery immediately.
• Allow the battery to cool down in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials.
• Avoid operating the tool under excessive load for extended periods, which can cause the battery to heat up.
