under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack

electrical check.
 Charge the battery pack only with the recommended
charger.
 Refer to charger operator's manual for charging
instructions.

MAINTENANCE
BATTERIES
These batteries have been designed to provide maximum
trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will even-
tually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and at-
tempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries,
especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in
a serious burn.

charged and ready for use.

 Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
80°F and away from moisture.
 Store battery packs in a 30%–50% charged condition.
