COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
I!1 This Lithium-Ion
battery pack will provide optimal performance
in temperatures
between 32°F
(0°C) and 104°F (40°C). When the battery pack is very cold, it may "pulse" for the first minute
of use to warm itself up. Put the battery pack on a tool and use the tool in a light application.
After about a minute, the battery pack will have warmed itself up and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
PACK
The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a "memory"
when
charged after only a partial discharge.
It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge
before recharging.
Remove the battery pack from the tool when convenient for you and your job.
III Use the POWER BAR to determine when you need to recharge the battery pack.
!! You can "top-off" your battery pack's charge before starting a big job or long period of use.
I!1 Due to Lithium-Ion's
fade-free properties,
the only time it is necessary
to charge the Lithium-
Ion battery pack is when the pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of
charge, power to the tool will drop quickly. Charge the battery pack as needed.
HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
PACK
i
NOTE: This Lithium-ion
battery
pack is shipped partially
charged.
Before
using it the
|
first time, fully charge the battery
pack.
J
A fully discharged
battery pack with a temperature
between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C) will
charge in about 60-120 minutes(depends
on battery's
capacity).
I!1 Charge the Lithium-Ion
battery pack only with
the correct Charger/Adapter.
!! Connect the Charger/Adapter to a power supply.
Fig, 3
I!1 Attach the battery pack to the Charger/
Adapter
by aligning the raised ribs of the
battery pack with the slot in the Charger/
Adapter.
Slide the battery pack onto the
Charger/Adapter
(Fig. 3)
I!1 The Charger/Adapter
will communicate
with
the battery pack's SmartChip
TM
circuitry to
evaluate the condition of the battery pack.
I!1 The POWER BAR LED lights will cycle from
right to left during charging. This is part of the
normal charging operation.
I!1 After charging is complete, the green LED
on the Charger/Adapter
will come on and
the POWER BAR LED lights will go off. The
POWER BAR LED lights will not be displayed
when the POWER BAR button is pressed while
the battery pack is on the Charger/Adapter.
I!1 The battery pack will fully charge, but will not
overcharge,
if left on the Charger/Adapter.
NOTE: For your convenience,
the Charger/
Adapter
can operate with most generators
and inverters rated at 300 watts or higher.
