Charging the Batteries
6PowerScan™ M8300
As with other battery types, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time.
Capacity deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in
use or not. It is difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell
manufacturers rate them at 500 charge cycles. In other words, the batteries should be
expected to take 500 full discharge/charge cycles before needing replacement. This
number is higher if partial discharging/recharging is adhered to rather than full/deep
discharging,
The typical manufacturer advertised useful life of LI batteries is one-three years,
depending on usage and number of charges, etc., after which they should be
removed from service, especially in mission critical applications. Do not continue to
use a battery that is showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled
/ disposed of and replaced. For most applications, batteries should be replaced after
one year of service to maintain customer satisfaction and minimize safety concerns.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device to comply with
European Directive 2006/66/EC, 2011/65/EU, 2002/96/EC and 2012/19/EU,
and
subsequent modifications, US and China regulatory and other laws and regulations
about the environment.
CAUTION
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or
on induction cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or
storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes
color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
