Notes About Battery Charging - Westfalia 93 19 71 Original Instructions Manual

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 discon-
nected 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 performance of the tool will slightly reduce. This decline
will continue until the battery has minimal capacity after 500
