Charging the Battery

Charge the battery before first use.
In contrast to NiCd batteries lithium-ion batteries do not have a memory effect.
The capacity of other batteries decreases steadily but the capacity of lithium-
ion batteries does not decrease. The capacity remains constantly until the
electronics interrupts discharging. The lawn and edge trimmer will stop
abruptly, if the charging level of the battery falls below a certain value.
The quick charging station can be operated on the countertop or can be
mounted on the wall by using the hanging holes at the rear side of the
charging station. Please take care that the charging station is mounted in the
vicinity of a power mains socket.
Regardless of the charging condition, the battery can be charged at any time
without damaging the cells.
1. Connect the power cord of the charger with a wall
socket. The charging indicator light (13) lights up.
Slide the battery with the terminals into the charging
station as far as it will go. The charging indicator
light (14) starts flashing.
After charging the battery for approx. 1 hour, the
charging indicator light turns on continuously.
2. Remove the battery from the charging station and
unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
