Charging the Batteries
The batteries have no “memory effect” (with older battery types it was an
advantage to fully discharge and charge the battery, otherwise they will
“learn” not to use the full capacity). The new batteries perform best if no
complete cycles are made. Therefore it is only an advantage to charge the
battery as soon as an opportunity arises. The Vivo 65 internal battery can
be used for up to 600 complete cycles, the click-on battery can be used for
up to 500 complete cycles.
The internal and click-on batteries are automatically charged when con-
necting the Vivo 65 to the mains supply. To ensure that the batteries are
fully charged, a maintaining charging cycle will be performed. The batter-
ies are not charged when connecting the Vivo 65 to an external DC sup-
ply. While charging, the battery level will be animated. The batteries are
only charged if the internal temperatures are between 32 to 113°F (0 to
45°C). High power consuming settings in combination with high ambient
temperatures may make the battery temperature rise above 113°F (45°C).
