Battery life can be increased by avoiding complete discharges: user should force a charge 
cycle after a listening session even if the battery is not completely depleted. This is 
obtained by powering the unit while the output switch is engaged. 
 
Despite the aforementioned protection circuits, a Li-Po battery is a delicate device (even if 
not as delicate as a Li-Ion battery) which needs to be properly used to avoid damages. 
Particularly, do not expose the 

PALMER POWER STATION

 to excessive heat or cold or fire, nor 

drop liquids on it. Do not short-circuit the outputs. Should the 

PALMER POWER STATION

 be 

exposed to temperature beyond the allowed range, put the unit in a normal environment 
and allow for at least one hour before operating it. Too cold or too hot a battery would 
result in damage when operated. Please refer to the specifications section (Page 11) for 
temperature limits. 
 
Moreover, it’s advisable not to overcharge nor short-circuit the outputs in order to avoid 
excessive stress to the battery and to the post-regulator. 
 

5.4. Placement 

 
The 

PALMER POWER STATION

 can generate heat during operation, particularly when charging 

the battery and when the maximum output current is required. Do not place the 

PALMER 

POWER STATION

 on carpets or moquette, allow for adequate ventilation, particularly at the 

front panel. Venting holes are present to the right of the front counterpanel that should not 
be covered.
