PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The B50 Li rechargeable battery is a lithium-ion rechargeable battery with a maximum rated out-put voltage of 20 V and a charge storage capa-city of 2.5 Ah. As soon as the rechargeable bat-tery is inserted into the charger, the charger auto-matically detects the charge status of the re-chargeable battery. The charging process then begins. It ends automatically when the re-chargeable battery is fully charged.
The rechargeable battery can be charged in any charge status. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the rechargeable battery

Designated use
The rechargeable battery is intended for AL-KO appliances that are operated by a rechargeable battery. It is intended for use only in the garden and hobby area, not for professional use.
The rechargeable battery must only be charged with the AL-KO C30 Li (ACG18LD3) and TC30 Li (ACG18LD2) charging units.
Use in any way other than that described here is deemed as non-designated.

DANGER: Danger of explosions and fires!
Persons will be fatally or severely injured if the rechargeable battery explodes because it was stored in front of naked flames or heat sources. Store the rechargeable
battery in cool and dry conditions, but not in front of naked flames or heat sources.

NOTE : When charging in the charger, the rechargeable battery is protected from overcharging due to automatic detection of the charge status and thus can remain in the charger for some time, but not permanently.

Store the rechargeable battery in a dry, frostfree place at an ambient temperature between 0°C and +25°C and with a charge state of approx. 40 – 60%.
Recharge the rechargeable battery after approx. 3 months.
