HEADLAMPS
Read the specific recommendations for each lamp in the Instructions For Use and follow the battery compatibility
recommendations.
Use
•Carry your headlamp in a specific pouch to protect the lens.
•After use, lock your lamp to avoid accidental switching on. The locking method is specific to each lamp.
Optimize the life of rechargeable batteries
•Completely charge a battery before first use.
•Do not submerge a rechargeable battery in water.
•After use in a wet environment, remove the rechargeable batteries and let them air-dry away from UV (ultraviolet rays).
Avoid proximity to heat sources such as direct sunlight, wood fires, or a radiator.
•Remove the batteries for long term storage of the lamp. Store the batteries in a dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct
sunlight.
Lithium ion batteries
•Petzl Lithium Ion batteries are guaranteed for one year or 300charging cycles. They can be recharged 300times (after
300charge cycles, they will still have about 70% of their initial capacity).
•Lithium Ion batteries lose 10% of their capacity per year, whether they are used or not, independent of the number of
cycles.
•The recharging temperature of a Lithium Ion battery must be between 0°C and +40°C to avoid any deterioration.
- Avoid, for example, recharging a battery with a car charger, under a windshield exposed to direct sunlight.
- Do not charge a battery inside an enclosure (e.g. a case or box) as this can cause overheating that can damage the
batter y.
•The use and storage temperature of a Lithium Ion battery must be between -30°C and +50°C to avoid any
deterioration.
•For the ATEX lamps, the use and storage temperature must be between -30°C and +40°C.
•The ideal ambient temperature for recharging, use, and storage of a Lithium Ion battery is about 20°C.
