AEG 58V LITHIUM-ION batteries are designed with features
that protect the LITHIUM-ION cells and maximise battery life.
If the tool stops during use, the following may be the causes:
a. The maximum current draw of the battery has been
exceeded, causing it to automatically stop powering
the tool. Release the trigger to reset the tool and pull
the trigger to resume operation.
b. Excessive temperatures will cause the battery to stop
powering the tool. Feel the battery pack; if it is too
warm, allow it to cool down.
If the tool still does not work, recharge the battery.
Note: The battery pack indicator LED will not work if the
battery protection feature has caused the battery pack to
stop powering the tool. Release the tool trigger or remove the
battery pack from the tool and the battery pack LED indicator
will resume normal function.
cHARGING tHe BAtteRy PAck
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to prevent
possible problems. Therefore, you should charge them until
the green LED on the front of the charger comes on.
If the charger does not charge the battery pack under normal
circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to
your nearest authorised service centre for electrical check.
to cHARGe:
■
Use battery pack only with the recommended charger.
■
Connect the charger to the power supply. Make sure the
power supply is normal household voltage, 220-240 volts,
AC only, 50-60 Hz.
■
Make sure the latch of the charger snap into place and the
battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning
operation.
■
Slide the battery pack along the groove of the charger.
■
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on the
battery pack engage properly with contacts in the charger.

Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of
extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal room
temperature.
■
Note: The charger and battery pack should be placed in
a location where the temperature is more than 10°C but
less than 38°C.
■
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
■
After charging is complete, the charger green LED will
remain on until either the battery pack has been removed
from the charger or the charger has been removed from
the power supply.
■
After charging is complete, the battery pack indicator LED
will remain on 1 min then turn off. But if the battery pack
has been removed from the power supply, the battery pack
indicator LED will turn off.
■
When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger
from the power supply and remove the battery pack.
■
To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress the
latch of the charger.

These batteries have been designed to provide maximum
trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually
wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and attempt to
replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially
when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
■
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully
charged and ready for use. For battery pack storage longer
than 30 days:
•
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
27°C and away from moisture.
•
Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
•
Every six months of storage, charge the battery pack
as normal.
