OPERATION
When to charge the Power Plus battery pack
Charge your battery pack before you use your tool for the first time and when
your tool no longer performs with the power and torque needed for the job.
Never completely discharge the battery pack.
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4-5 chargings and
dischargings. Battery packs which have not been used for some time
should be recharged before use.
Standard charging times
Standard charging time is approximately one hour. Charging time varies
depending on the battery temperature, charge needed and the type of
battery pack being charged. For example, if the battery pack does not
require a full charge, the charging time will be less than one hour.
Effects of temperature on charging
Battery packs are affected by temperature. The charger will sense battery
temperature and will charge the battery at the most rapid rate when its
temperature is between 41°F (5°C) and 113°F (45°C). When the battery
temperature is outside of this range, charging will occur at a slower rate
to prevent damage to battery.
Automatic start
When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger, charging will
begin automatically once the battery reaches the correct charging
temperature.
Maintenance charge
Batteries discharge at a rate of about 1% per day. The Maintenance Charge
feature keeps the battery pack fully charged when the battery pack is stored
in a charger that is plugged in. The Maintenance Charge automatically begins
after the battery pack is fully charged. During Maintenance Charge,
the control light will be off.
