Preface
Rechargeable Battery Pack Safety
With very little care, you can optimize the battery life and maximize the lifespan
of the battery. Most importantly, use only the device in its ideal operating
temperature (refer to 1.6 Specifications on page 10 ) – do not leave it in a hot
trunk during the summer.
•
Important Terms to Understand
“Battery life” means the time the device will run before it must be recharged
(sometimes this is also called “playtime” or “runtime”).
“Battery lifespan” means the total amount of time your battery will last before it
must be replaced.
• Using the Device for the First Time
Be sure to fully charge (approx. 3 hours) the device when charging the device
for the first time.
•
Long-Term Storage & Maintenance
If you are putting away the device for more than three months, it is recommended
that get recharged every three months. If you store with an uncharged battery, it
could fall into a deep worn-out state which would render it incapable of holding
any charge. Be sure to store the device at the proper temperature (see as 1.6
Specifications on page 10 ).
•
Battery Lifespan
The non-replaceable batteries for the device are designed to retain up to 80%
of their original capacity after 300 charging and recharging cycles when properly
maintained. You may choose to replace new battery with the help of qualified
service personnel when it no longer holds the sufficient charge that meets your
needs.
•
The lithium-ion battery is currently one of the most popular battery packs.
The best advantage is that it has no memory effect, so users needn’t worry about
that issue. Users can charge the battery anytime whether it is fully drained or not.
However, it’s recommended that users drain the battery until the system shows
power shortage warning and then recharge the battery. Doing so is helpful to the
reliability of your battery.
•
Don’t expose the battery to elevated heat situations such as under direct
sunlight in a car or near fire.
