1)
The batteries are soldered into place. Replacing batteries will
require soldering equipment and skills.
2)
Batteries can be extremely dangerous. If allowed to short-
circuit, they can cause burns, create blinding arcs, or explode,
causing serious injury. If you accept this risk, work slowly, and
exercise utmost care! Work with only one wire at one time.
3)
Batteries solder, and soldering vapors contain lead, a toxic
substance that can build up in your body. Minimize your
exposure to lead by wearing gloves, providing good ventilation
when soldering, and washing hands after soldering or handling
batteries. You should NEVER simultaneously solder and eat
foods!
Battery Trouble
Should a battery ever leak, do not touch the battery liquid. If you are
exposed to the solution, flush the affected area with water. If you must
handle the battery, wear disposable gloves.
Replace the battery if there are leaks, visible breaks or cracks.
Dispose of used batteries by taking them to a recycling center, or
according to state and local laws.
Battery Temperature Sensitivity
Ambient temperature will affect almost every kind of battery. Usually,
the battery shows good discharging capability at higher air temperature.
When the air temperature is under 0 ºF, the battery power will decline
more than one third. So it is natural that the XB-420M will not reach its
normal mileage in winter or in cold weather. When the air temperature is
up to 68 ºF, the XB-420M will achieve its normal range capability.
When the ambient temperature is over 110 ºF (as when exposed to
summer sunshine for a long period), batteries and other electric
components usually run in an abnormal fashion.
What Does “Maximum Range” mean?
