As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will
lose capacity over time. Capacity deterioration is noticeable
after 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
discharge / charge cycles before needing replacement. This
number is higher if partial discharging / recharging is adhered
to rather than full / deep discharging.
The typical manufacturer advertised useful life of LI batteries
is one to three years, depending on usage and number of
charges, etc., after which they should be removed from ser-
vice, especially in mission critical applications. Do not con-
tinue to use a battery that is showing excessive loss of
capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of and
replaced. For most applications, batteries should be replaced
after one year of service to maintain customer satisfaction
and minimize safety concerns.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device
in comply with European Directive 2006/66/EC, 2011/65/EU,
2002/96/EC and 2012/19/EU an
d
subsequent modifications,
US and China regulatory and others laws and regulations
about the environment.
CAUTION
Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C)
temperature range.

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 performance and a shortened life
expectancy.
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-
pressure 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.
