12. Safety precautions for the battery
Damaged batteries and chargers should be removed from use and sent to
ecom instruments GmbH for inspection.
Note:
• Extreme temperatures can have an adverse effect on charging the battery.
• Do not dispose of the device in a fire.
• Dispose of the device in accordance with local regulations and not with
normal household waste.
A high quality lithium-ion battery is used in your Tab-Ex
®
02. These batteries
have numerous advantages in everyday use, such as a low weight and high
capacity in a nevertheless compact construction. In addition these batteries
also exhibit practically no memory effect. However, these batteries are su-
sceptible to a natural aging process which impairs their functionality.
Modern batteries today have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which,
when used daily, corresponds to a service life of approximately two years. The
ageing process increases rapidly after this period, which means that the bat-
teries are deemed technically defective after 500 charge cycles. Moreover, the
battery cells could expand and cause irreparable damage to your device in a
worst case scenario. For this reason rechargeable batteries with lithium cells
should be replaced after two years at the latest or after reaching a battery
capacity that is 50% of its initial value.
Note:
The battery used in this unit poses a fire hazard and can cause chemical in-
juries if it is used improperly. Neither the battery nor the battery cells should
be opened or disassembled and they should not be burned or exposed to
temperatures exceeding 100 °C.
