To charge the battery pack, slide all the way
onto the retainer [1-1] on the charger.
To remove, slide off the charged battery pack in
similar fashion.
All Festool battery packs of the series BPS and BPC
can be loaded with the charger. The charger auto-
matically detects the type of the inserted battery
(NiCd, NiMH or Li Ion). A microprocessor controls
the charging process in line with the charging state,
temperature and voltage of the battery pack. If a
warm NiMH battery pack (> 37 °C) is inserted, the
pack is charged with a reduced charging current
and will take longer to charge.
