Information about the battery
1.
The battery pack supplied with your sprayer is only
partially charged. The battery pack must be charged
completely before you use the sprayer for the firsttime.
2.
Foroptimumbattery performance, avoidlow discharge
cycles by chargingthe batterypack frequently.
3.
Storethebatterypack inacoolplace,ideallyat77°F
(25°C) and charged to at least40%.
4.
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging
process.The batterypackmust bereplaced atthe latest
when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when
new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no
longer capable of meeting the high power requirements
needed for the proper operation of your sprayer, and
therefore pose a safety risk.
5.
Do not throw battery packs into an open fire asthis poses
a risk of explosion.
6.
Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
7.
Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive
discharge will damage the battery cells. The most
common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy
storage or non-use of partially discharged batteries.
Stop working as soon as the performance of thebattery
falls noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it
has been fully charged.
8.
Protect batteries and the sprayer from overloads.
Overloads willquicklyresultinoverheatingandcell
damage inside the battery housing even if this
overheating is not apparent externally.
