•A negative temperature below 0°C reduces the lamp's battery life because the faster discharge dims the light output.
However, these are temporary drawbacks. Once the Lithium Ion molecules are re-warmed, the battery regains its
previous capacity.
•Elevated temperatures above 50°C can permanently damage batteries. However, this doesn't happen instantly;
repeated use at elevated temperatures must occur to cause damage. Never leave your headlamp under a windshield, a
window, or in a trunk if the outside temperature is elevated.
Nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) and nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries
•Petzl Ni-MH batteries can be recharged 500times.
•WARNING, completely discharging a Ni-MH rechargeable battery may affect its performance, possibly resulting in the
emission of gases and toxic materials. Do not hesitate to recharge a battery that is partially discharged or that has been
in storage for more than twoweeks.
•Self-discharge in prolonged storage:nickel batteries lose at least 10% of their capacity after the first day of non-use,
then about 20% per month.
•Nickel batteries must always be charged at a temperature between 10°C and 40°C.
•Always use your batteries at a temperature between -20°C and +60°C.
•Store your batteries at temperatures between -20°C and +35°C.
