Information on battery packs
– Where possible, store the battery pack in a
cool, dry place at a temperature between
5 °C and 25 °C.
– Battery packs are most efficient at tempera-
tures between 20 °C and 30 °C.
– Protect the battery pack from moisture, wa-
ter and heat.
– Significantly shorter operating times after
each charge indicate that the battery pack is
worn and should be replaced with a new one.
– The LiIon battery pack is fully compatible
with the charger! Integrated electronics pre-
vent overloading and overheating during the
charging process.
– Do not leave flat battery packs in a charger
disconnected from the mains power supply
[7]
for longer than one month. There is a risk of
total discharge and the maximum power of
the battery pack may decrease.
– Store the battery pack in its packaging to re-
duce the risk of short circuits..
– If LiIon battery packs are to be stored for
long periods without use, they should be
charged to 40 % capacity (approx. 15 mins.
charging period).

chine wear or your own personal workload may
increase depending on the application. Protect
yourself and your machine, and preserve your
warranty claims by always using original Fes-
tool accessories and Festool consumable mate-
rial!
