7. Remove Battery from appliance when not in use for a long period of time.
8. Always store Battery in a cool dry area away from direct sunlight.
9. To maintain optimum Battery performance, always fully discharge and recharge the Battery at least once

10. In order to maintain optimum Battery performance, it is recommended not to leave the Battery
completely discharged for more that six (6) months.
Important Charging Notes
1. The Battery Pack may only charge to approximately 80% of its maximum capacity with its fi rst few
charge cycles. However, after the fi rst few full charged / discharged cycles, the Battery will charge to full
capacity.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per charge may indicate the Battery is near the end of its useful life
and should be replaced.
3. For longer periods of inactivity (1 month or more), it is best to run the Battery down until it is fully
discharged before storing the Battery Pack. After long periods of storage, the capacity at fi rst recharge
will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored in two or three charges and discharge cycles. Remember
to also unplug the Charger unit during storage period.
4. The Charger unit was designed to charge the Battery in 4-6 hours only when the Battery temperature is
between 40° F(4° C) and 94° F (35° C).
5. If the Battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in another standard electrical device and verifying the outlet
is active.
b. Verify that the outlet is not connected to a light switch that is in the “off” position.
c. Check Battery Pack terminals for dirt or debris. Clean off the terminals with cotton swabs and
alcohol if necessary.
6. If the Battery does not reach its fully charged state (green LED illuminated on Charger) replace Battery.
Note: Use of Chargers or Battery Packs not sold by Jarden Consumer Solutions will
void the warranty.
Charging a Hot Battery Pack
When using the appliance continuously, the batteries in the Battery Pack may become hot. A hot Battery
Pack should be allowed to cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When
the Battery Pack becomes discharged and is hot, this will cause the red LED to blink rapidly. After 30
minutes, reinsert the Battery Pack in the Charger.
Disposing of Battery
Do not attempt to disassemble the Battery or remove any component projecting from the Battery
terminals. Fire or injury may result. Protect any exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape prior to
disposal.
Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries
If unit is equipped with a nickel-metal hydride (Ni-Mh) Battery,
the Battery can be disposed of in a municipal solid waste system.
If unit is equipped with a nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) Battery, the Battery must be recycled
or disposed of in an environmentally sound
manner. The EPA certifi ed RBRC Battery
Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) Battery indicates Jarden Consumer
Solutions is participating in a voluntary
program to collect and recycle these
batteries at the end of their useful life,
applicable only when taken out of service
in the United States or Canada. The RBRC
program provides a convenient alternative
to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash
or the municipal waste stream, which may be
illegal in your area.
Please call 1-800-8-Battery for
information on Ni-Cd Battery recycling and
disposal bans/restrictions in your area, or
return your batteries to Jarden Consumer
Solutions (JCS) recycling center. JCS
involvement in this program is part of our
commitment to preserving our environment
and conserving our natural resources.
