Charging the Batteries
12
Gryphon™ I GM44XX
As with other battery types, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will
lose capacity over time. Capacity deterioration is noticeable af-
ter one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is
difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but
cell manufacturers rate them at 500 charge cycles. In other
words, the batteries should be expected to take 500 full dis-
charge/charge cycles before needing replacement. This num-
ber is higher if partial discharging/recharging is adhered to
rather than full/deep discharging.
WARNING
In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into
your eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and
immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the bat-
tery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
CAUTION
Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) tem-
perature range.
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack,
chargers, and docks supplied by your Datalogic reseller.
The use of any other power supplies can damage the
device and void your warranty.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery
contains safety and protection devices, which, if dam-
aged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or
ignite.
CAUTION
Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other
high temperature locations.
Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store
the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause
the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the
battery in this manner may also result in a loss of perfor-
mance and a shortened life expectancy.
CAUTION
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pres-
sure containers or on induction cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while
using, charging or storing the battery, the battery emits
an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or
appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned
on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
