Automatic refresh
The automatic refresh mode will equalise or balance the
individual cells in the battery pack at its peak capacity.
Battery packs should be refreshed weekly or whenever
the pack no longer delivers the same amount of work.
To refresh your battery pack, place the battery in the
charger as usual. Leave the battery pack for at least
10 hours in the charger.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or
too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature
ensures maximum battery life.
LI-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
Li-Ion batteries are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery against overloading,
overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the Li-
Ion battery on the charger until it is fully charged.
DEEP DISCHARGE PROTECTION
The battery pack is protected against deep discharging
when it is used in the tool.
