7. Battery handle maintenance
Remove the battery handle from the Compact Touch HD if you do not intend to use it for
an extended period of time. This will improve the longevity of the battery handle.
Batteries are sensitive to overcharging. It is recommended to only charge the battery
handle when it is completely drained.
Chargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have an auto discharge that strongly depends on the
temperature of the environment (e.g. never leave the battery handle in a car that is
parked in direct sunlight).
New Lithium-Ion batteries must be charged several times before reaching their nominal
capacity.
Charge Lithium-Ion batteries at least once every 6 months.
The average lifespan of the battery handle is usually 300 charging cycles, but this
depends on the use. Total capacity will slowly decrease after multiple charging cycles.
