8) Maintenance of rechargeable battery terminals and D-180 Battery Box terminals
Rechargeable batteries offer high capacity, high performance and long life but to ensure
consistent and stable function it is necessary to monitor the both the battery terminals and
the D-180 Battery Box terminals, and perform maintenance according the procedures
below. Also, anytime you suspect inconsistent charging, unstable performance or poor
battery connection, check the terminals as an initial troubleshooting measure.
1. Adjust position of Battery Box Inner Cap terminals
High performance rechargeable batteries can be heavy, and may tend to flatten the
Battery Box Inner Cap terminals. This can cause poor connection, so gently bend
the terminals back to the correct position, as in image below.
2. Clean battery terminals, Battery Box Inner Cap terminals and Battery Box
terminals
High performance rechargeable batteries have a tendency to form an oxidized layer or
build up residue on the battery terminals and Battery Box terminals. This can cause
poor connection, so clean the terminal locations as in images below.
Cleaning Method
a) Wipe each terminal surface with a cotton swab (or similar) soaked in alcohol to remove
any oil or similar residue.
