Battery
Battery packs which have not been used for some
time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the per-
formance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure
to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept
clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be
fully charged, after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the
battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days: Store the
battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture Store the battery packs in a 30%
- 50% charged condition Every six months of storage,
charge the pack as normal.

Transporting Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous
Goods Legislation requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in
accordance with local, national and international
provisions and regulations.
The user can transport the batteries by road without
further requirements.
Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third

Transport preparation and transport are exclusively to
be carried out by appropriately trained persons and
the process has to be accompanied by corresponding
experts.
When transporting batteries:
Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and
insulated to prevent short circuit. Ensure that battery
pack is secured against movement within packaging. Do
not transport batteries that are cracked or leak. Check
with forwarding company for further advice
Risk of fire! Risk of explosion!
Never use damaged, defective or deformed
accumulators. Never open or damage the accumulator
or let it fall on the ground.
Never charge the battery in an environment with acids
and easily flammable materials.

may irritate the respiratory system.
Working Instructions
Accumulators are supplied partially charged and must
therefore be fully charged before being used for the first
time.
• Charge the accumulator when the appliance is running
slowly or stops.
• A li-ion battery may be charged at any time without
any shortening of its life. Charging process interrup-
tion will not damage the accumulator.
• A li-ion battery is protected by the Electronic Cell
Protection against deep discharge.
• A significantly shorter operating time of a charged
battery means the battery life is over and the battery
must be replaced.
Dispose of the batteries in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Li-ion batteries are subject to the special
Li-Ion
disposal obligation. Have any defective
batteries disposed of by a specialised shop. The battery
must be taken out before the appliance is scrapped.
Damaged batteries may harm the environment and
your health if toxic vapours or liquids leak out of such
batteries.
Therefore, never send a defective battery by post, etc.
Please contact your local recycling centre.
Dispose of the batteries when discharged. We
recommend applying an adhesive tape on the poles to
protect them against short circuit. Never open the
battery.
