Working with the Battery
Charging / first-time use
•
The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is
delivered with an energy content as low as possible.
•
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.
•
The permissible temperature range for charging is between 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 Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery if the
temperature is too high.
Operation / discharging
•
The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +50°C/-4°F to +122°F.
•
Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; very high
operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.
•
For Li-Ion batteries, we recommend carrying out a single discharging and
charging cycle when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a Leica
Geosystems product deviates significantly form the actual battery capacity
available.
