When using your Husqvarna BLi-X 36V battery, both the ambient temperature and the battery's internal temperature play crucial roles.
BLi-X 36V battery and Ambient temperature
The surrounding environment affects the battery's performance.
Extreme temperatures can impact capacity, charging efficiency, and overall lifespan of the battery.
Use the battery only when the ambient temperature is between -10°C (14°F) and 40°C (104°F).
Your battery might work in -10°C (14°F), but its runtime and performance might decrease.
BLi-x 36V battery's internal temperature
The battery's internal temperature is important during charging, discharging and storage.
If the battery temperature is under -10°C (14°F) or above 70°C (158°F), the battery will not work during discharging.
If the battery temperature is under 0°C (32°F) or above 50°C(122°F), the battery will not charge.
Decrease the workload and/or speed of working when the battery temperature indicator is flashing.
NOTE: When the temperature is below 0°C (32°F), heavy workload can also cause temporary battery error.
Using BLi-X 36V battery in cold environment
- Warm up the battery: Before using the battery in cold conditions, allow it to warm up to room temperature. Cold batteries have reduced capacity and may not perform in full power until warmed up.
- Insulate the battery: Husqvarna offers battery transportation box with integrated insert which provides great thermal insulation.
- Run the battery-powered product on low power in the beginning, then gradually change to higher power.
Using BLi-X 36V battery in hot environment
- Avoid extreme temperatures: do not use it in the high ambient temperatures (over 40°C/104°F). Do not leave the tools with batteries in them under direct sunlight or in hot locations (e.g. in a car for an extended period of time). Avoid placing the battery on a hot surface.
- Do not use tools for the task they are not designed for, e.g. cutting high grass with a battery-powered lawn mower requires more power.
- Try to keep the batteries cool before using them to avoid shut-down due to overheating of the battery pack. The power tool will shut down if the battery reaches 70°C (158°F) internal temperature.
