overheating. The ventilation grill that prevents the air from

Charging a very cold battery

will increase as the battery warms. Never attempt to charge
a frozen battery.

of the protection of the environment. Black &
Decker repair agents will accept old Black &
Decker tools and ensure that they are disposed of
in an environmentally safe way.

sites or by the retailer when you purchase a new product.

Lead acid batteries can be recharged many times.
At the end of their useful life, discard batteries with
due care for our environment:
X Do not dispose of the battery in fire, as this may result in an
explosion.
X Lead acid (Pb) batteries are recyclable. They must not be
disposed of with household waste. The battery must be
removed and disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.
X Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
X Be aware that the battery is heavy.
X If possible, operate the appliance to run the battery down
completely.
Place the battery in a suitable packaging to ensure that the
terminals cannot be short-circuited.
Take the battery to your service agent or a local recycling
station. Collected batteries will be recycled or disposed of
properly.
