Working with the Lithium-Ion Battery 193
Battery charging limits:
Charge temperature: 0°C to 45°C (<10°C slows charge on some batteries)
Discharge temperature: –10°C to 60°C
Operate the FieldFox on battery power between the ambient temperatures of –
10 and +50°C (–14 to +122°F). Using the battery at lower or higher
temperatures can damage it and reduce operating life. Cold temperatures
affect battery chemistry, reducing charge capacity, especially below 0°C
(32°F).
Lithium Ion Battery Disposal
When you notice a large decrease in charge capacity after proper recharging, it’s
probably time to replace the battery.
Lithium-Ion batteries need to be disposed of properly. Contact your local waste
management facility for information regarding environmentally sound collection,
recycling, and disposal of the batteries. Regulations vary for different countries.
Dispose of the battery in accordance with local regulations.
Agilent Technologies, through Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation
(RBRC), offers free and convenient battery recycling options in the U.S. and
Canada. Contact RBRC at 877-2-RECYCLE (877.273.2925) or online at:
