The Impact of Lithium-Ion Battery Technology on the Battery
The following are the key points you should know about Lithium-Ion battery technology:
The battery will discharge on its own, even when it is not installed in a monitor. This discharge is
the result of the Lithium-Ion cells and the current required for the integrated electronics.
By the nature of Lithium-Ion cells, the battery will self-discharge.
The self- discharge rate doubles for every 10°C ( 50 °F) rise in temperature.
The capacity loss of the battery degrades significantly at higher temperatures.
As the battery ages, the full-charge capacity of the battery will degrade and be permanently lost.
As a result, the amount of charge that is stored and available for use is reduced.
Conditioning Guideline
The battery in your monitor should be conditioned every six months by charging it fully then
allow it to completely discharge before recharging it again.
Storage Guideline
Store the battery outside of the monitor at a temperature between 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F).
When the battery is stored inside a monitor that is powered by an AC power source, the battery
cell temperature increases by 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F) above the room’s ambient t emperature,
thus reducing the life span of the battery.
When the battery is stored inside a monitor that is continuously powered by an AC power source
and is not powered by battery on a regular basis, the life of the battery may be less than 12
months. Bionet recommends that you remove the battery and store it near the monitor until it is
needed for transport.
How To Recycle The Battery
When the battery no longer holds a charge, it should be replaced. The battery is recyclable.
Remove the old battery from the monitor and follow your local recycling guidelines.
Warning
Do not incinerate batteries or store at high temperatures as there is a risk of explosion.
Serious injury from explosion may result.
If the battery has an external shock, external damage or flooding, dispose of the battery
without using it.
