High quality lithium-ion batteries are used in your Ex-Handy 06 . The-
se batteries have numerous advantages in everyday use, such as a
low weight and high capacity in a nevertheless compact construction.
In addition these batteries also exhibit practically no memory effect.
However, these batteries are susceptible to a natural ageing process
which impairs their functionality. Modern batteries today have a
lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which, when used daily, corre-
sponds to a service life of approximately 2 years. The ageing process
increases rapidly after this period, which means that the batteries are
deemed technically defective after 500 charge cycles. Moreover, the
batteries could blow up and cause irreparable damage to your device
in a worst case scenario.
For this reason rechargeable batteries with lithium cells should be re-
placed after 2 years at the latest or after reaching a battery capacity
that is 50% of its initial value.
Note
: The battery used in this unit poses a fire hazard and can cause
chemical injuries if it is used improperly. Neither the battery nor the
battery cells should be opened or disassembled and they should not
be burned or exposed to temperatures exceeding 100 °C.
10. Repair
Repairs are to be conducted by ecom instruments GmbH or by
personnel or service centres authorised by ecom instruments GmbH,
because the safety of the unit needs to be tested after repairs are
implemented.
