09 10
Do not store lithium-ion battery packs in a discharged state over a long
period as this can damage the lithium-ion cells.
For long-term storage, store batteries in a high charge state disconnected.
The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the
battery�s operation time and the maximum torque performance of the
driver will slightly reduce. This decline will continue until the battery has
minimal capacity after 250 charge cycles. This is normal and not a fault
with the battery pack.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
If the tool will not be used for long periods of time, charge the battery
every 3-6 months.
