NOTE: ABOUT BATTERY CHARGING:
The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between 10 and
0 1 ）
40°C. (ideally around 20°C).
After discharging the battery, please wait 10 minutes for the battery
0 2 ）
cool down before charging.
After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use.
0 3 ）
Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after use,
0 4 ）
and is stored correctly.
Do not leave batteries on charge for extended periods and never store
0 5 ）
batteries on charging.
The Battery Charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while
0 6 ）
charging. Remove the battery once charging is complete to maximise
charge cycles of the battery and not waste power.
Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery can
0 7 ）
fail and the battery could short. The charger will not charge faulty
batteries. Use another battery if possible, to check correct functionality
of the charger and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty battery is
indicated.
Do not store lithium-ion battery packs in a discharged state over a long
0 8 ）
period as this can damage the lithium-ion cells.
For long-term storage, store batteries in a high charge state disconnected.
0 9 ）
The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles,
1 0 ）
the battery�s operation time and the maximum torque performance of the
driver will slightly reduce. This decline will continue until the battery has
minimal capacity after 250 charge cycles. This is normal and not a fault
with the battery pack.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects,
1 1 ）
like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid

contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
