Operating Principles
•
The battery must be charged before using it for the first time because
it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible
•
The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to
+40 °C/+32 °F to +104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend
charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10 °C to
+20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F if possible
•
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using
the chargers recommended by GeoMax, it is not possible to charge
the battery once the temperature is too high
•
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time
(> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge
cycle
•
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is suffi-
cient. We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capa-
city indicated on the charger or on a GeoMax product deviates signific-
antly from the actual battery capacity available
