handling thoroughly.
•
For information on installing and removing the battery from equipment,
thoroughly read the user's manual for the specific equipment.

Batteries have life cycles, so if the time that the battery is powering the
equipment becomes much shorter than usual, the battery life is at an end.
Replace the battery with a new one.
•
Remove a battery whose life cycle has expired from equipment immediately.
•
When the battery is discarded, make it non-conducting by applying vinyl tape
to the (+) and (-) terminals. The battery must either be discarded as
specified by local regulations or put it in the recycling box of a store that is
cooperating in the recycling of rechargeable batteries.
•
When not using the battery for an extended period, remove it from the
equipment and store it in a place with a low humidity and low temperature.
Battery Charging
Do not charge the battery for more than 2 to 3 hours, overcharging can
actually drain the battery.
The lithium-ion battery can provide between 300-
500 charge/discharge cycles. The lithium-ion battery is certainly different from
most other rechargeable batteries as charging from a partially charged battery
keeps the battery in great condition whereas other batteries prefer to be fully
discharged each time before recharging again. Fully discharging the lithium-ion
battery should be avoided wherever possible. For most users, charging the
battery at the end of each day would be the ideal choice. The lithium-ion battery
pack typically lasts about 2-3 years, but potentially longer if cared for in the right
way.

conditions.
•
Do not use or charge the battery close to fire or inside a car in which the
