Battery Packs - Stanley SB25PT-05 Manuel D'instructions

4.3.7 IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1 ) Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air
temperature is between 65 °F and 75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or above +104 °F (+40 °C). This is important and will prevent
serious damage to the battery pack.
2 ) The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid
placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated
trailer.
3 ) If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a ) Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;
b ) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
c ) Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65 °F – 75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C);
4 ) If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.
5 ) The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce suffi cient power on jobs which were
easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging
procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on
the battery pack.
6 ) Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel
wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
the charger before attempting to clean.
7 ) Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.

4.4 BATTERY PACKS

NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is fully charged.
4.4.1 INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK (FIG. 8B)
TO INSTALL THE BATTERY PACK INTO THE TOOL HANDLE
• Align the battery pack (M) with the rails inside the tool's handle (Fig. 8b) and slide it into the handle
until the battery pack is fi rmly seated in the tool and ensure that it does not disengage.
TO REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK FROM TO THE TOOL
• Press battery release button and fi rmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the
charger as described in the charger section for this manual.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
• The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
For optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs at room temperature when not in use.
• For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
