High quality lithium-ion batteries are used in your Visor-Ex
®
01 pocket unit PU
V01 DZ1 or PU V01 DZ2.
These batteries have numerous advantages in everyday use, such as a low weight
and high capacity in a nevertheless compact construction.
In addition these batteries also exhibit practically no memory effect. However,
these batteries are susceptible to a natural aging process which impairs their
functionality.
Modern batteries today have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which, when
used daily, corresponds to a service life of approximately 2 years. The ageing
process increases rapidly after this period, which means that the batteries are
deemed technically defective after 500 charge cycles. Moreover, the battery cells
could expand and cause irreparable damage to your device in a worst case sce-
nario.
For this reason rechargeable batteries with lithium cells should be replaced after
2 years at the latest or after reaching a battery capacity that is 50% of its initial
value.
Note:
The battery used in the pocket unit poses a fire hazard and can cause
chemical injuries if it is used improperly. Neither the battery nor the battery cells
should be opened or disassembled and they should not be burned or exposed
to temperatures exceeding 70 °C. The disposal regulations specified are also
applicable for old devices.
6. Repair
Repairs are to be conducted by the manufacturer or an authorized service center,
because the safety of the device needs to be tested after repairs are implemented.
