Care of battery – „Memory effect"
When charging the battery, the so-called
„memory effect" should be taken into
account. For example, when recharging
a half-charged battery, the battery
remembers this stage as the final
charging stage for the next charging
operation. This is known as the
„memory effect". During the next
discharging operation (i.e. use of the
battery) the battery reminds the user of
this (reduced) capacity. When the
battery is then charged again after using
half the capacity, only a quarter of the
power is available before it is unusable.
To avoid the memory effect and
therefore conserve the capacity of the
battery, we recommend allowing the
battery to discharge completely (e.g. by
operating the screwdriver) approximately
every two months and then recharging
it. Only fully charged batteries should be
stored for any length of time. Check the
charge occasionally to ensure a
maximum life span of the battery.
CAUTION! Storing discharged
batteries may cause total
discharge. This causes irreparable
damage to the battery cells.
Clean the case only with a damp cloth –
Do not use solvents. Then dry well. The
place of storage must be dry; the
ambient temperature must not fall below
0 °C or rise above 40 °C.
