Charging Advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging
cycles without interruption, the charger can warm
up. This is not harmful and does not indicate a
technical defect of the unit.
A battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity until
after approximately 5 charging/discharging cycles. A
significantly reduced working period after charging
indicates that the batteries are worn out and must
be replaced.
General instructions regarding the battery
In order to maintain the long service life of the
battery, always follow the instructions below:
• The lawn trimmer will be automatically switched off
when the battery voltage is low. The battery must
then be recharged before the trimmer can be used
again.
• Always recharge the lithium-ion battery prior to any
prolonged period of nonuse, i.e. before storing the
trimmer away in autumn.
• The charging time is 3-5 hours for a battery that is
completely empty.
- LI-ION BATTERY
Advantages of Li-ion batteries :
- Li-ion batteries have a higher capacity/weight ratio
(more power for less heavy, more
compact, battery)
- No memory effect (capacity loss after several
charge/discharge cycles) like other type
batteries. (Ni-Cd, Ni-MeH ..) .
- Limited self discharge.
