Damaged devices and chargers should be removed
from use and sent to ecom instruments GmbH for
inspection. When sending batteries/battery packs or
devices containing batteries/battery packs; the sender
must comply with the transport regulations for dan-
gerous goods.

A high quality lithium-ion battery is used in your

The battery has numerous advantages in everyday use,
such as a low weight and high capacity in a neverthe-
less compact construction.
In addition the battery also exhibit prac-

effect.
However,
the
battery are susceptible to a natural aging process
which impairs their functionality.
Modern batteries today have a lifespan of around 500
charge cycles, which, when used daily, corresponds
to a service life of approximately 2 years. The ageing
process increases rapidly after this period, which me-
ans that the batteries are deemed technically defecti-
ve after 500 charge cycles. Moreover, the battery cells
could expand and cause irreparable damage to your
device in a worst case scenario.
For this reason rechargeable batteries with lithium
cells should be replaced after 2 years at the latest or
after reaching a battery capacity that is 50% of its in-
itial value.
