Keep Your Batteries Cool

You know that battery operated tools are the greatest and give you mobility wherever you are working - unless the battery is dead. You can prevent alot of battery problems by following these hints. The first thing you should remember is that heat is your battery's number one enemy. It not only takes out its strength but is shortens their life as well. You should always store cordless tools in a cool place. Don't leave them laying out in the sun or keep them in a hot car or truck or trunk of the car.If your battery gets heavy use and run down, let it cool off first before recharging it. Did you know that the chargers generate heat. Also wait until the battery runs completely down before recharging. Partial charges just create problems. So-called "quick chargers" don't always bring the cells up to full power. If you use this method, then after 10 quick charges, charge your battery to full capacity. They do run down even if they are not used often so if you know you have a job ahead, make sure and get a good charge on your tools beforehand. And remember, keep them cool as much as you can.
