Tips for handling the batteries
The life of a battery depends essentially on the load, frequency of use, temperatures, settings and the acces-
sories being used.
– New batteries or batteries that have been stored for long periods require a longer charging period.
– Charge the batteries at room temperature.
– Never expose the batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
– Rechargeable batteries lose their charging capacity over the time and require a longer charging period
the older they are. If the battery performance drops considerably, then it is time to replace the battery.
– New batteries are supplied in partial charged condition. Batteries achieve their full capacity after several
complete charge and discharge cycles.
– Do not throw old rechargeable batteries into the domestic waste. Ensure that the valid legal and municipal
regulations of your country are being followed.
– Never dispose of batteries in fire as they can leak or explode
