Operation of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries share many characteristics with conventional
batteries.
The major difference is that Lithium-ion batteries do not have a
"memory" and do not require to be completely discharged periodically.
It is recommended to charge Lithium-ion batteries after each use so
they will be fully charged when needed.
Lithium-ion batteries perform best and deliver peak output power at
room temperature. When operated in lower temperatures, the battery
output will be reduced.
Note: A fully charged battery will loose about 2 % of its charge per
month during storage.
Assembly and Operation

Charging the Battery

1. Insert the charger plug into the receptacle
in the side of the driver (Fig. 1).
2. Plug the battery charger into a 230 V,
60 Hz wall receptacle.
Notes
a) Make sure the charger plug is fully inserted
into the matching receptacle at the side of the
driver handle.
b) A new battery or one that is completely exhausted should be
charged for one hour or until the red charging indicator LED turns OFF.
After normal use, a battery should be fully charged in one hour.
c) If the battery does not charge properly, check to make sure the
electrical outlet is "live" and that the temperature range in the work area
is between 0 – 40° C.
Warning: Do NOT leave the charger plugged in for longer than
5 hours. The battery will be fully charged within one hour. Leaving
the charger plugged in for longer than 5 hours may damage the
battery.
