REPAIR PROCEDURES /
LIMITED WARRANTY
tested & approved by
NOSRAM r&d engineers
All products from NOSRAM are manufactured according to the highest quality standards. NOSRAM
guarantees this product to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for 90 days (non-euro-
pean countries only) from the original date of purchase verified by sales receipt. This limited warran-
ty doesn’t cover defects, which are a result of misuse, improper maintenance, outside interference
or mechanical damage. This especially applies on already used batteries or batteries, which show
signs of heavy usage. Damages or output losses due to improper handling and/or overload are not a
product fault. Signs of wear (loss of capacity) after intensive usage are also no product fault.
To eliminate all other possibilities or improper handling, first check all other components in your model
and the trouble shooting guide, if available, before you send in this product for repair. If products
are sent in for repair, which do operate perfectly, we have to charge a service fee according to our
pricelist. The following points do also result in a service fee:
• Original power plugs replaced with a NON reverse polarity protected power plug system
• Send in the battery without power plugs
• Removed or damaged original heatshrink
With sending in this product, the customer has to advise NOSRAM if the product should be repaired
in either case. If there is neither a warranty nor guarantee claim, the inspection of the product and
the repairs, if necessary, in either case will be charged with a fee at the customers expense accor-
ding to our price list. A proof of purchase including date of purchase needs to be included. Otherwise,
no warranty can be granted. For quick repair- and return service, add your address and detailed
description of the malfunction.
If NOSRAM no longer manufactures a returned defective product and we are unable to service it, we
shall provide you with a product that has at least the same value from one of the successor series.
The specifications like weight, size and others should be seen as guide values. Due to ongoing tech-
nical improvements, which are done in the interest of the product, NOSRAM does not take any
responsibility for the accuracy of these specs.
NOSRAM-Distributor-Service:
• Package your product carefully and include sales receipt and detailed description of malfunction.
• Send parcel to your national NOSRAM distributor.
• Distributor repairs or exchanges the product.
• Shipment back to you usually by COD (cash on delivery), but this is subject to your national
NOSRAM distributor‘s general policy.
If you are not using your NOSRAM Xtreme Power Stickpack battery for several days/weeks,
under no circumstances it shall be stored fully discharged. Storing of fully discharged NiMH
batteries even for just a few days immediately damages the cells.
We recommend to only store your NiMH battery packs with some capacity left in them. A
common way to do this is to partially charge the empty battery with 1C for 15 minutes. You can
then store the pack for several weeks. Store the battery preferably in a cool place.
We generally recommend a maximum charge current of 1C* and chargers, which are suited
for NiMH batteries. Our NOSRAM STEALTH Evolution charger (#91552) is perfect for this
application. Make sure not to overcharge your battery pack.
Charge up to a maximum cell temperature of 42ºC, when you are using a temperature cut-off
charger. Nevertheless you should use a charger with Delta-Peak detection, if possible.
We recommend the following settings, if you are using our NOSRAM STEALTH Evolution char-
ger:

Please note:
You can use your NOSRAM Sport, Power und Team Packs up to 3-times per
day. Pay attention, that the battery pack has cooled down completely before beginning the
charge.
* C=Nominal capacity of the battery. E.g. with a nominal capacity of 3000mAh (3.0Ah), the
battery can be charged with a max. current of 3.0A.
All NOSRAM Sport, Power and Team Pack batteries are very robust and easy to use. Therefore
the following information is not something you necessarily have to do, but your battery pack
will have a longer lifetime and optimized performance, if you do so.
NOSRAM Xtreme Power Stickpack batteries

NOSRAM Xtreme Power Stickpack
should never be stored completely empty. Always
pay special attention, that your battery is not completely discharged. Even if you use the bat-
tery once a week, the battery should never be stored completely empty. Be sure to also check
the information, which is given in the section „Storage“.
Best results will be obtained, when the battery pack gets discharged with 10A to a cut-off
discharged with 10A
discharged with 10A
voltage of 5.4V (6 cells), 6.3V (7 cells), 7.2V (8 cells). Pay attention, that the battery pack has
cooled down completely before beginning the charge.
NOSRAM Tip:
For the best possible care of your NOSRAM Xtreme Power Stickpacks we
recommend the use of our NOSRAM Gravity Stickpack Discharger. The Discharger discharges
your Stickpacks and perfectly prepares them for the next charge. Your Stickpacks will have
a better performance, longer runtime and a longer lifespan. The NOSRAM Gravity Stickpack
Discharger is suitable for all Stickpacks (5-7 cells) and has the NOSRAM #91361.
If you intend not to use your battery for several weeks, you should not discharge the pack.
Please refer to the „Storage“ section for further information.
It is not recommended to discharge your NOSRAM Xtreme Power Stickpack batteries

completely if you intend to store your battery for a longer time! Only fully discharge the
battery pack, if you intend to use it within one week.
IMPORTANT:
Do not dead-short or deep-discharge the cells to 0V. Also do not use the common
light-bulbs without a cut-off or a monitoring device as this will damage the cells immediately.
