22.3. Battery Guidelines
The service life of the battery depends on the frequency and time of use. If
lithium batteries are properly maintained and stored, their service life is about 3 years.
If batteries are used improperly, their life may be shorter. We recommend replacing
lithium batteries every 3 years.
In order to ensure the maximum capacity of the battery, please pay attention to
the following instructions:
The battery performance must be checked every two years. Before the
monitor is repaired or when you suspect that the battery is the source of the
fault, battery performance inspection is also required.
When the battery is used or stored for three months or when the running time
of the battery is significantly shortened, the battery performance is optimized
once.
If the monitor is not used for a long time, please optimize the battery
performance every three months. Because not taking out the battery will
shorten the battery life.
If the lithium battery is put on hold when its charge is 50% of its full charge,
the storage life of the lithium battery is about 6 months. After 6 months, the
lithium battery must be used up before being charged to full capacity. The
monitor is powered by the lithium battery, and the battery is taken out of the
monitor and then put on hold when the battery is 50% of the full charge.
WARNING:
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
Use only batteries specified in the manufacturer.
If the battery shows signs of damage or signs of leakage, replace it immediately.
Do not use a faulty battery in the monitor.
