Maintenance of the Battery
If Wizzybug is used every day, we recommend that you charge it
daily. You may find it convenient to charge Wizzybug overnight.
To maintain the battery life, charge it for 12 hours at least once
every three months.
Always handle the battery with care to avoid damage, and never
carry it by the cable. Avoid storing the battery in temperatures
above 25°C as this can reduce its performance and life.
If you know you will not use Wizzybug at all for a few weeks or
longer, charge the battery for at least 5 hours, remove it from
Wizzybug and store the battery in a cool, dry place.
WARNINGS
Always use the charger supplied with your Wizzybug. Using other
types of battery charger may cause damage to the battery, wiring,
charger, and in extreme cases, fire.
Do not cover the charger when in it is being used.
Always use the correct charging socket for your battery (either
SLA, NiMH or LiFePO4). See pages 50 to 53 for guidance on how
to charge the battery.
If the battery leaks, smokes or is damaged, stop using it
immediately. Make sure the Wizzybug charger is disconnected
from the mains.
If liquid or gel from the battery comes into contact with skin or
clothes wash immediately with soap and water. If it comes in
contact with your eyes, wash with clean water immediately and
consult a doctor.
