Notes About Battery Charging - Westfalia ASLG Original Instructions Manual

Battery Charge Level: The battery has a built-in charge indicator.
Pressing on the (Test) button to the right will indicate the charge level.
The right LED indicates a high charge level and the left a low charge
level that will mean the battery pack will require charging soon.
IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated be aware the tool
may stop operating while using the tool. In some instances this may be
dangerous. It is recommended to always ensure the battery pack has a
good charge level.

Notes about Battery Charging

▪ The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between
10° C and 40° C (ideally around 20° C).
▪ After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use.
▪ Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after
use, and is stored correctly.
▪ Do not leave batteries on charge for extended periods and never
store batteries on charge.
▪ The battery charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while
charging. Remove the battery once charging has been completed to
maximise charge cycles of the battery and not waste power.
▪ Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery
can fail and the battery could short. The charger will not charge
faulty batteries. Use another battery, if possible, to check correct
functionality of the charger and purchase a replacement battery if a
faulty battery is indicated.
▪ Do not store Lithium-Ion battery packs in a discharged state long
term. This can damage the Lithium-Ion cells. For long-term storage,
store batteries in a high charge state disconnected from the power
tool.
▪ The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge
cycles, the battery's operation time and the maximum torque per-
formance of the tool will slightly reduce. This decline will continue
until the battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles. This
is normal and not a fault with the battery pack.
