Battery Safety
The batteries in the BK8000 are NOT user replace-
able. Call your Service Center if you believe the
BK8000 battery is in need of service.
• Properly dispose of the BK8000. Exposure to
high temperatures can cause the battery to
explode, so do not dispose of in a re. Some
countries have regulations concerning battery
disposal. Please follow all applicable regula-
tions.
• Charge battery in temperatures above 32
degrees F (0 degrees C) and below 113 degrees
F (45 degrees C). Store BK8000 in tempera-
tures above -13°F (-25°C) and below 95°F
(35°C). Storage for a long time at temperatures
above 95°F (35°C) will reduce the capacity of
the BK8000. It is recommended to store the
BK8000 at 77°F (25°C) to maximize battery life.
Proper care will prevent serious damage to the
battery. Improper care of the battery may result
battery leakage, electrical shock and burns.
