How To Charge The Battery Pack - Craftsman NEXTEC 320.61189 Operator's Manual

Due to Lithium-Ion 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.

not overcharge.
