becomes much shorter than usual, the battery life is at an end. Replace the battery
with a new one.
• Remove a battery whose life cycle has expired from equipment immediately.
• When the battery is discarded, make it non-conducting by applying vinyl tape to the
(+) and (-) terminals. The battery must either be discarded as specified by local
regulations or put it in the recycling box of a store that is cooperating in the
recycling of rechargeable batteries.
• When not using the battery for an extended period, remove it from the equipment
and store it in a place with a low humidity and low temperature.
4.1.3 Battery Charging
Do not charge the battery for more than 2 to 3 hours, overcharging can
actually drain the battery.
The lithium-ion battery can provide between 300-500
charge/discharge cycles. The lithium-ion battery is certainly different from most other
rechargeable batteries as charging from a partially charged battery keeps the battery in
great condition whereas other batteries prefer to be fully discharged each time before
recharging again. Fully discharging the lithium-ion battery should be avoided wherever
possible. For most users, charging the battery at the end of each day would be the ideal
choice. The lithium-ion battery pack typically lasts about 2-3 years, but potentially longer
if cared for in the right way.
• When charging the battery, use dedicated chargers and follow the specified
conditions.
• Do not use or charge the battery close to fire or inside a car in which the
temperature may exceed 60°C.
• Stop charging the battery if charging is not completed within the specified time.
• Thoroughly read this manual before charging the battery.
• The battery can be charged within a 0°C to 45°C temperature range.
• Use the battery only in the specified equipment.
• Do not charge the battery in a place where static electricity is generated, or let the
battery touch something that is statically charged.
4.1.4 Recycle and Disposal Methods
Lithium ion batteries, like all rechargeable batteries are recyclable and should be
recycled.
CAUTION: If your battery is damaged, or if it no longer holds a charge, dispose of it
promptly and properly. Do not dispose of it along with general waste. Call your local
waste disposal agency or environmental agency for advice on disposing of the battery.
