USE OF YOUR BATTERY
Lithium-ion batteries deliver uninterrupted power
throughout their operating life. The power of your
40V devices will not decrease during use, while the
battery charge will decrease. However, the battery
will stop supplying power to your device when the
battery is discharged. It will then be necessary to
recharge the battery. It is not necessary to
completely discharge the battery before charging
it, this is the advantage of Li-Ion batteries.
BATTERY LI-ION
Our 40V batteries are designed to maximize their
lifespan and protect their cells. If the unit stops
during use, release the start trigger and attempt to
operate the unit again. If it still doesn't work, then
you have to recharge the battery.
BATTERY PROTECTION
Li-Ion batteries can be used at temperatures down
to -20°C. Switch on the battery in the tool, and use
it during the day, with good lighting. After a good
minute, the battery will have warmed up and will be
operational.
COLD WEATHER USE
Your battery is delivered charged to the minimum
to avoid any problems during transport. First of all,
it is imperative to fully recharge it once. If the battery
does not charge, upon receipt, you should contact
your Litheli service representative, and we will give
you instructions for replacement if necessary.
To recharge your battery, it is imperative to use a
compatible charger, recommended by Litheli.
If everything has been checked, you can connect
the charger to the mains socket.
Insert the battery into the charger and check that it
is engaged. The battery may become hot to the
touch during charging. This phenomenon is quite
normal.
Do not place the charger and battery in places that
are too hot or too cold.
They will work much better in a room with a suitable
ambient temperature (at home). Once the battery
is charged, remove the power plug and you can
disconnect the battery.
RECHARGE THE BATTERY
When you use a tool continuously, the battery can
become hot. You can place your battery on the
charger, but it will not charge until the temperature
has reached an optimal level. Once the temperature
has reached its optimal level, the battery will start
its charging cycle automatically.
RECHARGING A BATTERY WHEN IT IS HOT
A battery that is too cold can be inserted into the
charger, but charging will not start until the battery
reaches the optimal temperature. When the battery
is warm, the charge will start automatically.
RECHARGING A COLD BATTERY
To ensure that the life of your battery is as long as
possible, here are our tips:
REMINDER OF THE RULES FOR USING YOUR
BATTERY

3. Every two months, recharge the battery to
30% - 50% of its capacity.
1. Store the battery where the temperature is below
26°C and away from moisture.
