●
The battery contains an electronic device for protection against deep dis-
charge, overcharge and short-circuiting between the terminals.
– If you cannot discharge the battery, it may be deep discharged. Charge the
battery for 0.5 hours and check again.
– If you cannot charge the battery, it may be overcharged. Discharge the
battery and check again.
– If the battery has been short-circuited, charge it to reset the electronics.

Storage
The battery self-discharges while not in use. When storing the battery for an
extended period of time, make sure to
●
Handle the battery carefully to avoid short circuits. Make sure that leads and
terminals are insulated.
●
Keep the battery in the supplied packaging before use. The temperature
should not exceed 30°C.
●
Store the battery at an initial state of charge between 15% and 50% of its
capacity. When calculating the initial state of charge, consider
– The maximum consumption of electronic devices
– The self-discharge of the battery - the higher the state of charge, the
higher the rate of self-discharge
●
Avoid a deep discharge of the battery. A deep discharge occurs when the
state of charge falls below 5% of the battery's capacity.
●
Recharge the battery at least every six months.
Should the battery voltage be low or even 0 V, the battery protection circuit may
have gone into a sleep mode. In that case, reset the battery with an approved
charger.
