CHARGING & BATTERY LIFE
Your Cuisinart
®
Smart Stick PLUS
®
Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender is
equippe
d with nickel cadmium batteries.
We have selected these batteries to give you maximum life
and long running times, as well as rapid recharging times.
If you run your batteries down completely, it will take between 12 and 24 hours
to completely recharge them. They will be over 50% charged after only 3 hours.
Normally, you will not run them down completely. The normal running time with
a full charge varies depending on what you are blending, but you can expect up
to 20 minutes. The maximum time for most mixing tasks is up to 2 minutes.
