For a complete list of approved power sources, refer to the operator's manual for the charger.  Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the charger.  Make sure the battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning operation.  The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.  Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal room temperature. Note: The charger and battery pack should be placed in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F.  When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack. CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK When using a tool continuously, the batteries in the battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down before attempting to recharge. Note: This situation only occurs when continuous use of a tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK for normal recharging of batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest Authorized Service Center for electrical check. CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK If the battery pack is below normal temperature range it will not charge. Allow the battery pack to warm to a temperature of more than 32°F before attempting to recharge. COLD WEATHER OPERATION The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures down to -4°F. Put the battery pack on a tool and use the tool in a light duty application. After about a minute, the pack will have warmed up and begin operating normally. BATTERIES These batteries have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn. To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:  Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and ready for use. For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:  Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 80°F and away from moisture.  Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.  Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
