Battery and Battery Charger
NiMH Battery
The battery capacity (= the ability to store electric current) and the battery charge (= the actual amount
of stored current) depend on the age of the battery and the environment temperature. Older batteries
begin to lose capacity over time. If the temperatures are below 0 °C or above 40 °C, the charge
decreases faster.
Note:

In all cases, charge the batteries completely before initial use and at intervals not exceeding
6 months if they are stored. This ensures that the batteries have their full capacity in use,
even after long storage. Please refer to the date on the battery’s packaging.

Charge the battery fully before storing it for a prolonged period. Otherwise total discharge may
occur.

Use only the associated HBC charger to charge the battery

Charge the battery at an ambient temperature of 0 – 40 °C (32 – 104 °F).

Charge the battery only when the battery display flashes red, an acoustic signal sounds, the
status LED flashes red and the transmitter vibrates (option).

Always store rechargeable batteries at room temperature.

Protect the battery from short circuits and always store it in the protective cover provided.
When handled properly the battery can exceed 500 charging cycles

Three LEDs indicate the actual operating state of the battery.
LED
green
: Illuminates when battery is charged.
LED
orange
: Illuminates when battery is charging.
LED
red
: Illuminates when battery is deep discharged or defective.
Note:
If a deep discharged battery is inserted into the charger, the red LED will illuminate for a few
seconds before charging is started (LED orange illuminates).
