Crestron ST-BTPN Rechargeable Battery Pack
Handling
NOTE: The ST-BTPN contains a NiMH battery. When the unit can no
longer retain a charge, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Refer
to the recycle label on the unit for disposal information.
To prevent short-circuiting, use care when handling the ST-BTPN.
NiMH cells have extremely low internal resistance and will discharge at
high current levels when shorted. As a result, the high temperatures can
damage the rechargeable battery pack and may cause personal injury.
Avoid accidental shorting from uninsulated workbenches, tools,
bracelets, rings, and coins.
Storage
The ST-BTPN can be stored in a temperate dry place (removed from the
touchpanel and docking station) indefinitely without significant
irreversible degradation in its performance. The self-discharge rate is a
function of temperature and internal resistance. High temperature storage
reduces charge retention. Best results occur if the ST-BTPN is stored at
an optimal temperature of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). After an extended
storage, initiate a few charge/discharge cycles to restore full capacity.
Recharge the ST-BTPN after storage prior to use.
