Auto-stop function
To prevent operation with a weakened power tool, this battery has an auto- stop
function to stop output when the remaining battery level becomes 30% or less.
When the auto-stop function is activated, only the top indicator lamp blinks rapidly.
Then please charge the battery immediately.
Indication of abnormality
When the remaining battery indicator lamps of the battery blink rapidly (every 0.5
second), the battery may have a fault. Please bring it back to your dealer or the Hitachi
Authorized Service Center.
NOTE:
If the battery has not been used for a long time, it may take longer to charge it
because of self-discharge.
Lifetime of battery
When only one or less indicator lamp lights after correct charging, the battery capacity
is 50% or less.
This means the lifetime of the battery has expired. Please purchase a new one.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged
immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery
life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
Operation in a low temperature environment (less than 0°C)
When BCL1030A is used in a low temperature environment, the motor may stop even
if the remaining battery level is high enough. This is just a temporary phenomenon.
The battery can be used as usual when warmed up.

Please always use one of our designated genuine batteries. We cannot guarantee
the safety and performance of our cordless power tool when used with batteries
other than these designated by us, or when the battery is disassembled and
modified (such as disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal parts).
