Charging Tips for Maximum Performance
• Store and charge the unit where temperatures are
between 50˚ F (10˚ C) and 100˚ F (38˚ C). Storing the
unit or batteries above 100˚ F (38˚ C) will reduce
battery life.
• Storage below 50˚ F (10˚ C) will not reduce battery
life, but may require a longer charging time.
NOTE: The charging indicator light will remain lit when
the battery is properly installed in the charging
stand.
Temperature Effects on Charging Time
• 50˚ F (10˚ C) to 100˚ F (38˚ C) – Battery will be
charged within 24 hours.
• 40˚ F (4 ˚C) to 50˚ F (10˚ C) – Battery will require up to
48 hours for a full charge.
• Below 40˚ F (4 ˚C) – Battery will not reach full charge.
NOTE: Unit run time will be reduced when the battery is
not fully charged.
