Maximizing Battery Life
Batteries are chemical devices. If the batteries are left sitting on a shelf
for long periods of time outside the CK3, the batteries slowly
discharge, eventually to zero if left uncharged. The battery chemistry
resists normal degradation if you store the battery in a charger as
opposed to leaving the battery in a discharged state. See the following
table for tips to maximize the life of your battery.
Battery Conservation Tips
When You Want To: Do This to Save Battery Power:
Operate the CK3 and the
Low Battery status icon
appears or the Battery light
comes on.
Press
to turn off the CK3. Remove the
battery and insert another fully charged
battery within 10 minutes or you may lose
data. Or, you can connect the CK3 to an
external power source.
Stop using the CK3 for 5
minutes or longer.
Make sure the low battery icon is not on the
screen and that the Battery light is not turned
on. Press to turn off the CK3.
Store the CK3 for more
than a day.
If you are storing the CK3 for a few days, like
over the weekend, install the charged battery
or attach the CK3 to a power source.
If you are storing the CK3 for longer, remove
and charge the battery, then store both the
battery and the CK3 in a cool location.
If the battery in storage is not used in several
months, you should recharge the battery to
keep it at its performance peak.
