4. Setup and Charging

4.1 Initial Setup

Before first use, ensure the battery is fully charged. The battery is shipped with a partial charge and should be charged completely before operating any tool.

4.2 Charging Instructions

1. Connect the SEYVUM battery charger (sold separately) to a standard power outlet.
2. Slide the battery pack onto the charger until it clicks into place.
3. Observe the LED indicators on the battery and charger. A red light typically indicates charging, while a green light indicates a full charge.
4. Once fully charged, remove the battery from the charger.

Important Charging Conditions:

• Charge the battery pack when the air temperature is between 65°F (18°C) and 75°F (24°C) for optimal life and performance.
• DO NOT charge the battery pack in air temperatures below 41°F (5°C) or above 104°F (40°C) to prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
• It is normal for the charger and battery pack to become warm during charging. This does not indicate a problem.
• If a green light appears immediately after a completely dead battery is placed on the charger, it indicates temperature control protection. Allow the battery to cool down for 5-10 minutes before attempting to charge again. The light should then turn red, indicating normal charging.

6. Maintenance and Storage

6.1 Battery Maintenance Tips

• To maximize battery life and lifespan, keep the battery fully charged when not in use for extended periods.
• Avoid completely draining the battery frequently. Lithium-ion batteries perform best when not constantly kept in a fully discharged state.
• Clean the battery terminals periodically with a dry cloth to ensure good electrical connection.

6.2 Battery Storage Suggestions

• Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat or cold.
• The ideal storage temperature range is between -4°F (-20°C) and 113°F (45°C).
• For long-term storage (if not used very often), charge the battery to approximately 50% capacity at least once every six months. This helps maintain battery health.
• Long-term storage will not harm the battery pack or charger if stored correctly.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Battery Not Charging

• Ensure the charger is properly plugged into a working power outlet.
• Verify the battery is correctly seated on the charger.
• Check the charging temperature. If the battery is too hot or too cold, it may not charge. Allow it to reach room temperature (65°F-75°F or 18°C-24°C).
• If the charger shows a green light immediately after placing a dead battery, refer to the 'Important Charging Conditions' in Section 4.2.
• Inspect the battery and charger for any visible damage.

7.2 Reduced Run Time

• Ensure the battery is fully charged before use.
• Battery performance can decrease over time with repeated charge cycles.
• Extreme temperatures can affect battery performance. Operate tools within recommended temperature ranges.

7.3 Battery Not Powering Tool

• Ensure the battery is fully charged.
• Verify the battery is securely installed in the tool.
• Check if the tool itself is functioning correctly with another known-good battery (if available).
