INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE BATTERIES IN UPOWER
The UPower batteries are based on LI-ION Technology. A feature of this technology is
that if the batteries are discharged until a certain point, they cannot be recharged again
and internally the battery is destroyed. This is inherent of the LI-ION technology.
In order to avoid that UPower batteries are not chargeable anymore we advise to use the
UPower batteries as follows.
If customers don’t follow these instructions than the
warranty on batteries is void
.
1.
If you have a failing battery, send the battery immediately to the nearest service
partner. If you fail to do this the warranty is void.
2.
If a battery is empty, charge the battery immediately.
3.
If batteries are not charged immediately the following discharge table will apply. If
batteries reach this point they are destroyed and cannot be charged again. The
following table shows in 2 different situations the number of days before the battery
is destroyed.
