on the charger, the red LED will begin flashing and the
green LED will be off. When the battery pack cools
to approximately 120°F, the charger will automatically
begin charging.
CHARGING A COLd BATTERY PACK

proximately 32°F, the charger will automatically begin

MAINTENANCE
OPERATION
BATTERIES
These batteries have been designed to provide maxi-
mum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they
will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery
pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling
of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and
jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we sug-
gest the following:
 Remove the battery pack from the charger once it
is fully charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
 Store the battery pack where the temperature is
below 80°F and away from moisture.
 Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged
condition.
 Every six months of storage, charge the pack as
normal.
