Today, lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery powered tools are popular because of their longer run and shorter re-charging times. However, it is important to be aware of some of the safety aspects of utilizing these batteries. The following are some of the most common precautions for the safe handling and use of power tool Li-Ion batteries. Failure to follow these precautions can result in burns, fire, or explosion. • Always read your manufacturer’s instruction manual (battery, charger and tool) for complete information. • Only use original manufacturer’s system components – tool, battery and charger. • Use it solely for the defined purpose as specified by the manufacturer. • Use and store your battery within the temperature limits stated by the manufacturer. • Inspect your battery regularly for signs of damage. • Never modify, disassemble, or tamper with the battery. • Do not store or transport the battery in a container with loose metal objects, such as coins, keys or nails, which may contact the terminals. • Never burn / incinerate a battery or expose to a heat source – it may explode. • Do not immerse the battery or allow any fluids to flow inside. • Be mindful of abnormal battery behavior – failure to fully charge or hold a charge, noticeable drop in performance, unusual LED activity when placed on a charger (with batteries so equipped), liquid leakage from the battery, or melted plastic anywhere on the pack. These are indications of an internal problem. • As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery chargers and remove battery packs when not in use. Do not store batteries on their chargers. • If you suspect your battery may have a problem, do not use, ship, or discard as normal trash. Always dispose of your battery pack according to federal, state and local regulations.
