Battery Information
BARTEC rechargeable battery packs (type B7-A2Z0-0006) are designed and constructed to the highest standards within
the industry. However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing replacement.
Many factors affect the actual life cycle of a battery pack, such as heat, cold, harsh environmental conditions and falls from
heights. When batteries are stored over 6 months, some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur.
Store batteries discharged in a dry, cool place, removed from the equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic
parts and electrolyte leakage. When storing batteries for ½ year or longer, they should be charged and discharged at least
once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any contact with affected area and properly dispose of the battery.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected. Batteries must be charged within the 0° to +40 °C
(32° to 104° F) temperature range.
Standard warranty period for all BARTEC batteries is 1 year, regardless of whether the battery was purchased separately
or included as part of the Mobile Computer.
