Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.
Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged.
Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C-35 °C).
Do not disassemble or modify the charger.
If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan. Please
purchase a new battery.
The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power supply cord is connected.
The primary circuit is always "live" as long as the power cord is connected to an electrical outlet.
Frequently charging up battery is not recommended.
(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause battery to expand.)
