Warning
: NiteRider discourages battery initialization through
“bench testing” (operating the light in stationary conditions)
because the excessive heat generated can damage the
headlamp.
Smart Battery Protection
The Digital HeadTrip’ “smart” battery incorporates thermal
protection circuitry that turns the battery off when it overheats
from charging, external heat, or a short circuit. When the
thermal protection circuit is activated, the system will lock
and the fuel gauge will become dark. To clear the system
and return it to normal operation, unplug the light from the
battery and allow the battery to cool.
Similarly, intelligent lamp technology protects the battery from
overly discharging by turning the lamp off at the appropriate
time.
Storage
Rechargeable batteries perform better and last longer if they
are brought to a complete charge before storing and every
45 to 60 days when not in use.
Disconnect the battery from the headlamp, and store the
system in a cool dry place.
