As with charging, battery output slightly raises battery temperature, therefore, the same
conditions apply as above.
How long does good NiMh battery efficiency last if not used?
This depends on many factors, especially on the battery’s “life”. Usually a battery charged
at least once a month and never fully depleted can last up to five years.
When the battery is dead, what should I do with it?
The battery should be disposed of in a specific depleted battery recycling center. There
are specific collection centers in every city.
I left the battery on the boat and sea elements rusted the silver-plated connector
contacts. What should I do?
All electrical contacts inside the HDV battery case should never generate electrical shocks
or sparks due to the presence of hydrogen.
The connector should be immediately replaced (see Halcyon customer service).
I pulled the battery wires by mistake and damaged the insulation. Do I have to
replace them or can I insulate them with tape?
A wiring short circuit could even make the battery explode creating serious hazards to
people and property (see Halcyon customer service).
When I have to charge the battery, can I leave the red connector attached to the HDV
engine?
No! Although turning off the HDV using the circuit breaker knob (see instruction manual)
prevents engine power absorption, the battery must be detached and charged off the
scooter in all cases.
I noticed the battery leaks liquid, can I still use the battery?
No! Do not use the battery. It is hazardous to people and property!
I noticed some bumps on the battery, can I still use it?
No! Do not use the battery. It is hazardous to people and property!
How can I tell what the battery efficiency is? If I have to plan a dive, how can I be
sure that the battery charge provides a certain autonomy?
For this reason, there is a tool that simulates electrical scooter absorption during
operations and depletes the battery to a 20 volt residual voltage. When finished, the length
of output in minutes is displayed. This data gives you an idea on battery "health" letting
you plan correct use. (see “burn tester” accessories).
40 Warranty
Each HDV is factory tested underwater and only marketed when all necessary tests are
passed, including waterproof tests.
In the event of flooding (meaning the liquid in which the HDV was submerged enters the
watertight case) warranty validity is at the discretion of HALCYON
Transport and packaging fees to or from the HALCYON offices from non EU countries
shall be born by the purchaser.
The product (excluding the battery) is covered against all manufacturing defects for a
period of two years from the date of purchase proven by a sales document, excluding:
•
non-conform use or use other than that foreseen or illustrated in this manual
•
negligence, attempts to repair or modify the HDV by personnel not expressly
authorized by HALCYON that jeopardize correct operations or prevent adequate
checks and tests to meet repair needs under the warranty
•
temporarily rented products
•
Scratches or damages to any surface, due to normal product use by the consumer.
