12. Battery (Warnings)
• Make sure the EPAC, charger and charging port are dry.
• When the EPAC battery is fully charged, the LED light on the charger changes from red
(charging) to green (charging completed).
• Use only the original charger. Other chargers may damage your device and expose users
to other potential risks.
• The battery must not be charged for prolonged periods. Overcharging reduces battery
life and may cause other damage.
• Recharge the battery in a dry environment, away from flammable materials (such as
materials that could burst into flames), preferably at an indoor temperature of 15-25°C, but
never below 0°C or above 45°C.
• Do not charge in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• Never leave the battery unattended while charging. Fire hazard! Never touch the charging
socket with metal objects.
• Read the sections on charging to handle the battery correctly.
• Keep the battery away from naked flames or other heat sources to avoid overheating the
battery.
• Do not leave the battery exposed to very cold temperatures. Both excessive heat and
cold temperatures may cause the battery to lose its charge.
• Avoid completely discharging the battery.
• It is best to recharge the battery while there is still some charge left. This prolongs the life
of the battery.
• Charge the battery at regular intervals even if you do not use the EPAC for a prolonged
period.
