Approved Copy ! IMPORTANT: READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATION The DIONIC® HCX battery lithium ion chemistry delivers a higher power to weight ratio than NiCd & NiMH. However, all lithium ion batteries have more sensitive charging and discharging parameters and require longer charge times (2-5 hours). See charging section page 2 for more details. The DIONIC® HCX battery is specifically designed to be charged with current InterActive® chargers.
Approved Copy FEATURES 1. Microprocessor Fuel Computer - Accurately monitors the energy in the battery with programs that take into account battery age, self discharge, charge/discharge rate, operating conditions, and previously experienced charge/discharge cycles. The DIONIC® HCX battery constantly “learns” its precise state of charge and remaining capacity. This data is automatically transmitted to an InterActive charger. 2.
Approved Copy BATTERY AND DISPLAY The DIONIC® HCX features an all NEW “RealTime™” LCD providing on-the-fly remaining run time estimates in 15 minute increments as well as simultaneously providing remaining capacity information using the traditional “Fuel Gauge” approach. No special adapter or set up is required. RealTime™ automatically calculates the load and displays capacity information and battery status at all times.

Keep batteries cool or at room temperatures whenever possible. Sustained elevated temperatures are the primary reason for premature failure of batteries: a.
Approved Copy OPERATING GUIDELINE 6. Routine use of a battery at discharge rates greater than the battery rating (e.g. 150 watts maximum, 75 watts or less for lighting load) can reduce overall service life. Always select the proper size battery for your application. 7. Discharging the battery for diagnostic purposes should only be performed on an occasional basis (once every 6-8 weeks at most). Unnecessary discharging only detracts from overall life. 8.
