Safe Battery Handling
Charging and Discharging
• Always ensure batteries are fully charged when installing new lights. The light will be dispatched
from the Avlite factory fully charged. However if time has elapsed between dispatch and
installation, battery voltage must be checked.
• Never short-circuit or reverse polarity a battery, damage to the battery and device may occur, and
there is a risk of fire.
• Do not use different types of batteries in the same battery assembly. Sealed lead acid and NIMH
do not mix.
• If the battery has been deep-discharged, a prolonged charging time is required to bring the battery
back to full capacity.
Storage
• Always store batteries in a cool, dry place.
• After long storage, it is desirable to cycle (charge/discharge) the battery 3 times to restore full
capacity.
• Do not mix batteries with metal objects during storage or transportation to avoid accidental short-
circuit.
• Do not store large quantities of batteries in a densely packed condition when they are in a charged
or partially charged state.
Battery Handling
• Do not incinerate or dismantle batteries. Cell components are corrosive and may be harmful to skin
and eyes.
• Do not pull on battery lead wires or connector. Excessive force on the leads or connectors can
damage the welding joints or other connections.
• Batteries are recyclable. Please dispose of properly.
