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 300charging cycles. They can be recharged 300times (after
300charge 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.
