Charging the battery pack
The charging time differs depending on the remaining battery charge and the charging
conditions.
We recommend charging the battery pack at an ambient temperature of between 10°C to
30°C (50°F to 86°F). The battery pack may not charge efficiently outside this temperature
range.
Connect the battery charger to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket).

cause battery leakage, excessive heat, explosion, or electric shocks and may lead to
