Routine use of a battery at discharge rates greater than the bat-
tery rating (e.g. 150 watts maximum, 75 watts or less for lighting
load) can reduce overall service life. Always select the proper
size battery for your application.
7.
Discharging the battery for diagnostic purposes should only
be performed on an occasional basis (once every 6-8 weeks at
most). Unnecessary discharging only detracts from overall life.
8.
Periodic cleaning of both the charger terminals and battery
terminals will ensure continued reliable operation. Clean the
terminals occasionally with a pencil eraser or lightly scrape the
surface with a blunt instrument to help reduce this possibility.

SERVICE
In the event a DIONIC
®
HCX battery fails to deliver acceptable per-
formance, it must be returned to the Anton/Bauer. No other facility
is qualified and equipped to service the DIONIC
®HC batteries and
calibrate the electronic components and sensors. Any attempt by
the user or any other unauthorized persons to service this battery
will surely result in improper calibration of the electronic components
resulting in severe battery damage and/or safety hazards,
includ-
ing potential personal injury and/or damage to property. Any such
attempt will void any/all warranties.
WARNING
1.
NEVER
attempt to service this battery. If there is a problem, send
this battery only to Anton/Bauer for evaluation.
2.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THIS BATTERY
. The electronic
circuits inside the battery can be damaged causing malfunction
and/or potential hazard to person and property.
3.
NEVER
attempt to replace the cells in this battery – it cannot be
rebuilt or serviced. At the end of its useful life contact the Anton/
Bauer Customer Support Group at [email protected] or
(800) 541-1667 or (203) 925-4991.
PRECAUTIONS
1.
Do not expose this battery to high temperatures (above
50°C/120°F). This includes storage in direct sunlight , in cars in
hot weather, or in close proximity to heating devices. This may
cause electrolyte leakage, impaired performance and shorten
-
ing of battery service life.
2.
When not using the battery for prolonged periods, the DIONIC
HC battery should be charged.
3.
ALL LITHIUM ION BATTERIES have a finite life. If the battery
exhibits noticeably shortened run time the battery should be re
-
placed immediately. Shortened runtime is indicative of at least
one cell which has reached end of life. UNDER NO CIRCUM
-
STANCES should one attempt to “recondition” this battery by
repeated charging and discharging.
4.
This battery contains specialized electronic circuits, which
are designed to protect the lithium ion cells from overcharge,
overdischarge and overcurrent. Redundant protection devices
are designed to operate if the battery voltage is abnormally high
or low and if the temperature of the battery exceeds operating
specifications. These electronic devices can be damaged if the
battery is subject to abuse or damage. Do not use a battery that
has been subjected to excessive mechanical shock or water
damage.
5.
Do not drop, puncture or crush this battery. Do not use the bat
-
tery if the case is damaged or broken. Do not open or attempt
to service this battery if damaged.
