Characteristics and usage of battery
o
Charge battery with charger that comes with the package before use.
o
One full charge takes approximately 3,5 hours, providing up to 400 flashes at
maximum output.
o
Battery life depends on usage frequency. In the beginning, the capacity of the battery
can be increased, then gradually reduced. A fully charged battery may not be used for
up to 6 months. Keeping the battery down for a long time may affect its performance.
To maintain optimal battery performance, charge the battery within 3 months after
use.
o
The battery life cycle is approximately 300 cycles. A drastic drop in flash brightness
suggests a change of battery is needed.
o
The ambient temperature also affects the battery. Pay close attention to the high
temperature differences that may have a negative effect on the battery. A large drop
in battery capacity may occur when the temperature drops below 10
°
C when the
battery can drain quickly. Avoid using the battery at 0
°
C. The battery should not be
used even at temperatures above 45
°
C. If the battery is overheated it may reduce its
service life and its built-in protection system may limit its use. If the overheating
indicator beeps, cool the battery. Although the battery is discharged by use and can
no longer be used, the battery retains some capacity to protect its system. This small
amount of capacity is maintained for 3-6 months. Over time it is depleted, which leads
to degradation of the battery. To avoid this, charge the battery as soon as the battery
is discharged.

Charger and battery shelf life
o
Before charging the battery, turn off the flash first. If you leave the flash turned on
while the battery is charging, the charging time is prolonged and energy is consumed.
o
Battery charging time is approximately 3,5 hours.
o
Battery life increases with frequent charging, even if the battery is not completely
discharged.
o
The battery should be charged at a temperature of 10
°
C to 40
°
C. Charging the battery
outside this range may cause the protection system to block charging or to display the
battery as fully charged. If possible, charge the battery at room temperature. For quick
charging, turn off the flash or remove the battery and charge it directly.
o
Battery charging time depends on battery temperature, adapter power (AC 220V), and
battery age.
o
If the red diode does not appear during charging, make sure the charger is connected
to an electrical outlet and there is a power supply. If the charger malfunctions, contact
a service.
