• Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire! If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor), immediately remove it from flammable areas. Electrolyte leaking from battery can easily catch on fire and may cause the battery to generate smoke or burst into flame. • Do not use an abnormal battery! If the battery pack emits a bad odor, appears to have different coloring, is deformed, or seems abnormal for any other reason, remove it from the charger or operating equipment and do not use it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. ■ Using the Li-ion Battery Pack • Charge the battery pack before using it. • To keep the battery discharge at a minimum, remove the battery pack from the equipment when it is not in use. Store the battery pack in a cool and dry location. • When storing the battery pack for a long period: 1 Remove the battery pack from the equipment. 2 Discharge the battery pack, if possible. 3 Store the battery pack in a cool (below 25°C/ 77°F) and dry location. ■ Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack • As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the battery capacity decreases. • Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack degrades. • It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler areas. • The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and discharged in hotter areas. When the battery pack is stored in a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker. Do not leave the battery pack in vehicles or near heating appliances. • When the battery pack operating time becomes short, even if it is fully charged, replace the battery pack. Continuing to charge and discharge the battery pack may result in electrolyte leakage.
