Battery Care and Use Instructions
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING BATTERY.
Instructions for Best Performance
•
The nickel metal hydride battery needs to be
charged before use. Refer to “Battery
Conditioning”.
•
When this battery is charged for the first time, the
charger may indicate that charging has been
completed after just 10 to 15 minutes. This is
normal and can happen with any rechargeable
battery when it is first charged, or, if it has been
stored unused for a prolonged period. Simply
remove the battery from the charger and repeat
the charging procedure. There is no need to
discharge the battery between these charges.
•
Best charging results are obtained at normal room
temperature, 70
±
8
°
F (21
±
2
°
C). Charging
beyond this range is permissible but will not
result in the battery’s full capacity being reached.
Charging at temperatures below 50
°
F (10
°
C) or
above 95
°
F (35
°
C) is not recommended.
•
It is normal for the battery to become warm
during charging or after use.
•
Nickel Metal Hydride batteries do not develop a
‘memory effect’ typical of other rechargeable
battery types. Therefore, it is not necessary to
fully discharge the nickel metal hydride battery
before recharging, nor is it necessary to
periodically “recondition” the battery. You can
top–off the charge at any time.
Note that performing a refresh or discharging a
nickel metal hydride battery, though not required,
will not harm the battery.
