OPERATION

5-LED INDICATOR ON BATTERY PACK
This lithium-ion battery pack is equipped with a 5-LED indicator, press the power button to display the charge level or its working condition, the LED indicator will last for 10 seconds.

BATTERY PROTECTION

The battery circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme temperature, over- discharge, and over-charge. To protect the battery from damage and prolong its life, the battery pack circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it becomes overloaded or if the temperature becomes too high during use. This may happen in extremely high torque, binding, and stalling situations. The battery pack will shut down with LED indicator shining red for 10s when its operating temperature exceeds 158°F (70°C), and will begin normal operation when it returns to 152°F (67°C).

NOTICE: A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack indicates that the batteries are near the end of their usable life and must be replaced.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

This Lithium-Ion battery pack will provide optimal performance in temperatures between 50°F(10°C) and 80°F(26°C). When the battery pack is very cold, it may “pulse” for the first minute of use to warm itself. Put the battery pack on a tool and use the tool in a light application. After about a minute, the battery pack will have warmed itself and will operate normally.
