4.
Expect less than optimal performance after recharging
as each
week or month passes before use.
5.
Expect shorter durations and lower temperatures
of unconditioned
Battery Packs. Unconditioned Battery Packs are the result of being
new or unused for 2 months or more. (See Conditioning Charge.)
6.
Unconditioned Battery Packs
can be used without harm to batteries.
7.
Battery self-discharge rates
may range from 1 to 3
percent per
month when stored at ambient temperature of ~20°C (~68°F).
8.
When Battery Packs are unplugged and left on settings 1, 2, 3, or 4
,
a significant increase in discharge results.
9.
When unplugging Recharger from wall outlet, also unplug Battery
Packs from Recharger.
When not unplugged, damage may occur to
Recharger and a significant increase in Battery Pack discharge may
occur regardless of setting.
TIPS ON RECHARGING
1.
When Recharger green LED is on
(trickle current recharging), Battery
Pack may remain on Recharger indefinitely.
2.
However, as further protection against possible battery damage
from power outage, surge, or brownout, Hotronic DOES NOT
recommend leaving Battery Pack on Recharger for extended
periods of time
such as 24 hours or more (except during
Conditioning Charge).
3.
To confirm wall outlet is NOT controlled by switch
, plug in
Recharger, attach Battery Pack, and confirm continuous red LED
status. Recharger’s red LED is on continuously when outlet current is
active and goes off within seconds when outlet is turned off by
switch.
4.
One or two Battery Packs may be recharged on one Recharger
per
above instructions.
5.
Any combination of Power Plus S/e/m Series Battery Packs (S4, S3,
e4, e3, m4, m3) may be recharged simultaneously on same
Recharger
.
6.
Hotel room razor outlets
(and other Ground Fault Current
Interrupter outlets) are not recommended.
TIPS ON SUMMER & LONG TERM STORAGE
1.
For summer and long term storage
, recharge Battery Pack as per
Recommended Overnight Recharging Process instructions, turn
Battery Pack off, and store without Recharger or Heating Element
plugged in.
2.
Prior to use after summer and long term storage
, perform Battery
Pack Conditioning Charge for 24 to 72 hours uninterrupted.
3.
Do not store (or keep overnight) Battery Pack at temperatures
above 105°F (40°C)
as this will harm batteries.
4.
Do not store (or keep overnight) Battery Pack at temperatures at or
below freezing (32°F) (0°C)
as it may harm batteries.
5.
Do not store (or keep overnight) Recharger at temperatures below -
4°F (-20°C) or above 149°F (65°C)
as this may harm Recharger.
