Rechargeable Battery Pack Safety
With very little care, you can optimize the battery life and maximize the lifespan of the battery. Most
importantly, use only the equipment in its ideal operating temperature – do not leave it in a hot trunk during the
summer.
Important Terms to Understand
“Battery life” means the time the equipment will run before it must be recharged (sometimes this is also called
“playtime” or “runtime”).
“Battery lifespan” means the total amount of time your battery will last before it must be replaced.
Using the Equipment for the First Time
Be sure to fully charge the equipment when charging the equipment for the first time.
Long-Term Storage & Maintenance
If you are putting away the battery for more than three months, it is recommended that the battery should be
stored separately and fully charged, and get recharged every three months. If you store an uncharged battery,
it could fall into a deep worn-out state which would render it incapable of holding any charge. Be sure to store
the equipment and battery at the proper temperature (as described in 1.5 Specifications).
Battery Lifespan
The removable batteries for the equipment are designed to retain up to 80% of their original capacity after 300
charging and recharging cycles when properly maintained. You may choose to purchase new battery when it
no longer holds the sufficient charge that meets your needs.
• The lithium-ion battery is currently one of the most popular battery packs.
• The best advantage is that it has no memory effect, so users needn’t worry about that issue. Users
can charge the battery anytime whether it is fully drained or not. However, it’s recommended that
users drain the battery until the system shows power shortage warning and then recharge the battery.
Doing so is helpful to the reliability of your battery.
• Don’t use the battery pack as a power supply for other equipment.
• Don’t expose the battery to elevated heat situations such as under direct sunlight in a car or near fire.
• Don’t disassemble the battery, or the battery leakage might cause skin or eye injury. If electrolyte
leaking from the battery contacts your skin or clothing, immediately flush it with running water. If it
splashes into eye, rinse the eye at least 15 minutes with clean water and then seek medical attention.
• To avoid battery leakage or explosion, don’t discard the battery into water or fire, or put them near a
heat source such as a gas stove or an oven.
• If you are putting away the battery for more than three months, it is recommended that the battery
should be stored separately and fully charged, and get recharged every three months. If you store an
uncharged battery, it could fall into a deep worn-out state which would render it incapable of holding
any charge. Be sure to store the equipment and battery at the proper temperature (as described in
1.5 Specifications).
• Use the appropriate container to store the battery such as a paper box. Do not allow a metal object to
touch the terminal of the battery.
• The battery consists of precise electrical components and cells. Do not drop or hit the battery.
