▶ To achieve maximum battery life, stop drawing power from the battery as soon as a significant drop in
the performance of the power tool is noticed.
▶ Charge the batteries using the Hilti chargers approved for use with Li-ion batteries.
7.3 Checks after care and maintenance work
▶ After carrying out care and maintenance, check that all protective and safety devices are fitted and that
they function faultlessly.
7.4 Transport and storage
WARNING
Fire hazard. Risk of short circuiting.
▶ Never store or transport Liion batteries in loose, bulk form.
▶ Pull the battery out of its locked position and into the first engagement position.
▶ Observe the nationally and internationally applicable transport regulations when shipping batteries by
road, rail, sea or air.
Note
Ideally, the battery should be stored in a fully-charged state in a dry place that is as cool as
possible. Storing the battery in places subject to high ambient temperatures (e.g. at a window) has
an adverse effect on battery life and increases the rate of self-discharge.
If the battery no longer reaches full charge, it may have lost capacity due to aging or overstressing.
It is still possible to work with this battery. You should, however, soon replace the battery with a
new one.
