WORKPRO 20V 2.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery Pack

Product Overview

This document provides operating instructions and safety information for the WORKPRO 20V 2.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (Model: W126070A).

Safety Instructions

Storage and Charging Temperatures

The battery can be stored and charged at temperatures between 40°F (4°C) and 104°F (40°C).

Never store or leave your lithium-ion battery in temperatures over that recommended, as this may cause fire.

DO NOT store the Lithium Ion battery anywhere that the temperature can easily reach higher temperatures than recommended, including garden sheds and vehicles exposed to direct sunlight, as this can lead to dangerous temperature levels.

The battery can be charged or operated at temperatures between 40°F (4°C) and 104°F (40°C).

NEVER CHARGE YOUR LITHIUM ION BATTERY BELOW OR ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES, OTHERWISE FIRE OR SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY PACK MAY OCCUR.

The most suitable temperatures to charge the battery pack are between 68°F (20°C) - 77°F (25°C).

Always allow the battery pack to cool down after charging; do not place it in a hot environment such as a metal shed or open trailer left in the sun.

Storage Conditions

Take care where the tool is stored. Do not store in areas with corrosive fumes, salt air, or similar conditions. Store the tool in its original packaging if possible.

Disposal Warnings

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or put the battery into a microwave oven, conventional oven, dryer, or high-pressure container. Under these conditions, the battery may explode.

Handling and Physical Damage

Never attempt to open the battery pack, puncture the battery, or subject the battery to strong physical shock.

If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.

Ensure the battery pack clip is in good condition and will not allow the pack to fall free from the tool. If the clip is damaged or not locking the pack in place, do not continue to use.

Stop using the battery if it exhibits abnormal heat, odour, colour, deformation, or is in an abnormal condition.

If you detect leakage or a foul odour, keep the battery away from fire. If battery liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with clean water immediately. If liquid leaks into your eyes, do not rub them. Rinse your eyes well (for at least 10 minutes) with clean water, and consult a doctor immediately.

Do not use a leaking battery.

Handle batteries with care to avoid shorting the battery with conducting materials, such as nails, screws, metal watch bands, rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery may overheat and could burn you.

End of Life and Recycling

After the battery has reached the end of its useful life, recycle the materials at your local municipal council recycling centre.

DO NOT attempt to replace the battery cells in the battery pack, repair, or modify any part of the battery pack assembly.

When recycling, make the battery non-conductive by applying insulating tape to the terminals.

Charging the Battery

When to Charge

New batteries are shipped in a low charged condition and should be fully charged before use.

The battery pack can be recharged at any time during use, provided the pack is not overheated.

If the battery pack starts to cut out due to low voltage, or previous tasks undertaken can no longer be performed, it is suggested to stop using the tool and recharge the battery.

For storage, it is suggested to recharge the battery between 50% and 75% charge.

Battery Pack Fuel Gauge

The battery pack includes a fuel gauge consisting of four green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining.

To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. The combination of the four green LED lights will illuminate, designating the level of charge left.

If the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate, and the battery will need to be recharged.

Charge Level Indicators:

• Four green LEDs illuminated: 75–100% charged
• Three green LEDs illuminated: 51–74% charged
• Two green LEDs illuminated: < 50% charged
• One green LED illuminated: Pack needs to be charged

The fuel gauge displays approximate charge levels using four green LED lights. A full set of four illuminated lights indicates 75-100% charge. Three lights indicate 51-74% charge. Two lights indicate less than 50% charge. If only one light illuminates, the pack needs to be charged.

Disposal of Appliance and Packaging

?️ The crossed-out wheelie bin icon means: Batteries, rechargeable batteries, electrical, or electronic devices must not be disposed of with household waste. They may contain substances harmful to the environment and human health.

Consumers must dispose of waste electrical devices, spent portable batteries, and rechargeable batteries separately from household waste at an official collection point to ensure correct processing. Information on returning items is available from the seller, who is required to accept them free of charge.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries not permanently installed in waste electrical devices must be removed prior to disposal and disposed of separately. Lithium batteries and battery packs must only be returned to a collection point when discharged. Batteries must always be protected against short circuits by covering the poles with adhesive tape.

All end users are responsible for deleting any personal data stored on waste devices prior to disposal.

The packaging consists of cardboard and marked plastics that can be recycled. Make these materials available for recycling.
