Charging
• Repeated charging while some capacity remains causes a lowering of battery capacity.
However, the original battery capacity can be recovered if you use the battery completely
and charge it fully again.
• Charge the battery on a flat place without vibration.
• The battery will get hot during charging. But this is normal.
Do not continuously recharge a charged battery pack as that will cause the battery pack
efficiency to deteriorate.
Charging temperature
The temperature range for charging is 41 °F to 95 °F (5 °C to 35 °C). However, to provide
maximum battery efficiency, the recommended temperature range when charging is 50°F to 86°F
(10°C to 30"C).
