Important Battery Information
·
With a new NiMH battery, full performance is achieved after three to five complete
charge and discharge cycles.
·
Recharge the battery only in the Cell Master, or in an Anritsu approved charger.
·
When the Cell Master or the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source.
·
Do not charge batteries for longer than 24 hours, as overcharging may shorten battery
life.
·
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
·
Storing the battery in extreme hot or cold places will reduce the capacity and lifetime
of the battery. The battery will discharge faster at higher ambient temperatures (see
Figure 2-40).
·
Discharge an NiMH battery from time to time to improve battery performance and bat-
tery life.
·
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually
wear out.
·
The battery may need to be replaced when the operating time between charging is no-
ticeably shorter than normal.
·
If a battery is allowed to totally discharge, the smart-memory capability of the battery
may be lost, resulting in incorrect battery capacity readings or loss of communication
with the battery.
·
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
·
Do not drop, mutilate or attempt to disassemble the battery.
·
Never use a damaged or worn out charger or battery.
·
Always use the battery for its intended purpose only.
·
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of the battery to charge. Allow the battery
to cool down or warm up as necessary before use or charging.
·
Battery storage is recommended at less than 45 ° C.
