rating plate of your electric power tool. If other batteries are used, i.e.,
imitations, reconditioned batteries, or third-party products, there is a risk
of injuries as well as damage caused by exploding batteries. The battery
voltage must match the battery charger. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire
and explosion.
