BATTERY PACK
To reduce the risk of battery fire, explosion, fire, or electric shock
with the charger, follow these precautions and procedures:
Before charging
Allow the battery to cool before charging if it feels hot.
Inspect the battery pack before every charge. If there are any cracks or damage do not
charge the battery pack.
Inspect the charger and power cords before use. Replace if any parts are damaged. Do not
substitute, modify or add parts to the charger. Do not attempt to service the charger. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Use only the provided charger and cord.
Where to charge
Charge only:
indoors,
in a dry area,
away from sources of heat,
away from anything that can burn if exposed to heat or flame,
in a well-ventilated place,
where the charger can be monitored and easily observed during charging.
Do not charge in an explosive atmosphere.
Battery Charging
5 hours, 300+ cycles with battery life greater than 80% of original
Battery care
Do not use the battery outside the recommended temperature limits -4° F to 122° F
(-20° C to 50° C).
Do not charge the battery outside the recommended temperature limits 32° F to 113° F
(0° C to 45° C).
Do not store the battery outside the recommended temperature limits of:
Less than 1 month: -4° F to 122° F (-20° C to 50° C) <90% RH
Less than 3 months: -4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C) <85% RH
Less than 12 months: -4° F to 68° F (-20° C to 20° C) <85% RH
Do not disassemble or immerse the battery or charger in water or other liquids.
The battery can short if the contacts are accidentally connected by metal other than the PX5®
or the charger. To reset the battery, place the battery on the charging station. The battery will
be ready to use again. While measures have been taken to protect the battery, damage can still
occur, so be careful not to short any contacts together.
Long term storage
The battery has a shelf life of 6 months. Charge the battery until only 2 LEDs have been displayed
on the charger for around 20 minutes before storing. Then place on the charger for 1½ hours

every 3 months. If battery pack has 3 green flashing lights on at start of charging, wait another 3
months before charging. Battery capacity can be checked by inserting it into a PX5 and power it
on, checking the battery meter on the side. Long term battery storage should be done at 40-60%
capacity in a cool dry place, such as a refrigerator. A battery stored at 100% charge and at higher
storage temperatures, the more permanent capacity loss will occur. If the battery gets below it’s
minimum voltage it could result in an unrecoverable dead battery and could be dangerous to
attempt charging.
Disposal
Dispose of battery packs according to local regulations. Do not crush, disassemble, dispose of in
standard waste bins, in a fire, or send for incineration. Failure to properly dispose of battery packs
may lead to environmental contamination, fire or explosion.
