13.2 Storing the battery and charger
DANGER!
Danger of explosion and fire!
Persons will be fatally or severely injured
if the rechargeable battery explodes be-
cause it was stored in front of naked
flames or heat sources.
■
Store the rechargeable battery in
cool and dry conditions, but not in
front of naked flames or heat sourc-
es.
NOTE
When charging, the rechargeable battery
is protected from overcharging due to au-
tomatic detection of the charge status
and thus can remain connected to the
charging unit for some time, but not per-
manently.
■
Store the rechargeable battery in a dry, frost-
free place at a storage temperature between
0°C – +35 °C and with a charge state of ap-
prox. 40 – 60 %.
■
Due to a risk of short-circuit, do not store the
battery near metallic or acid-containing ob-
jects.
■
The battery must be recharged after a certain
storage period. Please also comply with the
rechargeable battery operating instructions.
