2.2.2 Li – ion battery pack guidelines
Li – ion rechargeable battery pack require routine maintenance and care in their use and
handling. Read and follow the guidelines in this user manual to safely use Li – ion
battery pack and achieve the maximum battery life cycles.
Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time (self – discharge).
When a battery has been unused for 6 months, check the charge status see chapter
3.4.4 Battery, time and communication indication. Rechargeable Li – ion battery pack
have a limited life and will gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge. As the battery
loses capacity, the length of time it will power the product decreases.
Storage:
Charge or discharge the instruments battery pack to approximately 50% of
capacity before storage.
Charge the instrument battery pack to approximately 50% of capacity at least
once every 6 months.
Store the instrument at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C.
Transportation:
Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before
transporting a Li – ion battery pack.
Handling Warnings:
Use only batteries provided by the manufacturer.
Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery in any way.
Do not short circuit or reverse polarity the external contacts on a battery.
Do not dispose of a battery in fire or water.
Keep the battery away from children.
Avoid exposing the battery to excessive shock/impacts or vibration.
Do not use a damaged battery.
The Li – ion battery contains safety and protection circuit which, if
damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
If a battery has leaking fluids, do not touch any fluids.
In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub eyes. Immediately flush eyes
thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids,
until no evidence of the fluid remains. Seek medical attention.
