4.2 Batteries
4.2.1 Operating Principles
•
The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered with
an energy content as low as possible.
•
The permissible temperature range for charging is between
−
10 °C to +55 °C / +14 °F
to + 131 °F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient
temperature of +10 °C to +45 °C/ +50 °F to 113 °F if possible.
•
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recom-
mended by GeoMax, it is not possible to charge the battery if the temperature is too high.
•
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is
effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
•
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend
carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a
GeoMax product deviates significantly form the actual battery capacity available.
•
The batteries can be operated from
−
30 °C to +65 °C/
−
22 °F to +149 °F.
•
Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn.
•
High operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.
