The charging temperature must be between 0 °C and 45 °C. Avoid charging below 0 °C or above 45 °C to preserve the battery.

Why does my tool suddenly stop during use?

This is normal: the battery is protected against deep discharges. When the voltage is too low, the tool automatically stops to avoid damaging the battery. Recharge it before continuing.

How to maintain the KAB24 battery?

Keep the battery clean and dry. Clean the ventilation slots with a soft, dry brush. Do not open or expose to water. Store it in a cool place, away from sunlight.

What is the battery life?

Battery life depends on usage. If the runtime decreases significantly after charging, the battery is worn and must be replaced. Do not dispose of with household waste.

Can I transport the battery by plane?

Lithium-ion batteries are subject to regulations. For transport, ensure the battery is not damaged and cannot move in the packaging. Check with the carrier for specific conditions.

What to do if the battery leaks?

The Li-Ion battery is protected against deep discharging. When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The tool no longer rotates. In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time for the battery to cool down before recharging. The Li-Ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.
