The following modes affect the battery runtime:

Mode 1 : Eco mode with non-electrical accessory

Notes

Like every Li-ion battery, the batteries from the Power for ALL 18 V series wear out over time, meaning that the battery capacity and the runtime decrease. This is a natural aging process and not the result of a material error, manufacturing error or material defect.
You can delay the natural wear by using the following measures:
- Only charge the battery in the temper-ature range between 0 °C and 45 °C.
- Only store the battery in the temperature range between -20 °C and 50 °C.
- Do not store the battery for an extended period of time if it is fully charged or fully discharged.
