BATTERY CARE AND MAINTENANCE 45
PART D: POWER MANAGEMENT
The ideal temperature range for charging is +10°...+30°C. If
charging the battery above or below these temperatures the
life of a battery may be shortened. Also, the battery may not
reach full capacity.
Never charge the battery at temperatures below 0°C.
Charging time depends on what kind of a charger and bat-
tery you have in use. When charging the Li-Ion batteries with
the quick charger, about 70% of the battery capacity will be
charged quickly, but charging the remaining 30% takes rela-
tively more time.
Also note that humidity, temperature, age of the battery and
currently used features (e.g. the GPS) affect the time spent
on charging.
BATTERY CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The continuous operating time is less when using an old
battery than when using a new battery.
When storing batteries for a long time, it is recommended
that the batteries are kept cool and fully charged in a dry
place.
Proper care and storage guarantee best possible battery ca-
pacity and maximum battery life.
DISPOSAL OF A BATTERY
Li-Ion batteries do not contain heavy metals which can dam-
age the environment. Li-Ion batteries should be disposed of
according to the country-specific regulations.
