• Excessive discharge damages a battery. Recharge the battery when your terminal indicates low battery power.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to
hold an adequate charge.
• If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, please send it to HHP or an authorized HHP service center, for
inspection.
