Battery lifetime
A battery’s lifetime depends on how it is handled. High temperature, super-fast
charging and harsh discharges are conditions that harm batteries. Repeated full dis-
charge cycles also stress the battery.
Precautions and warnings when using batteries
● Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
● Do not take batteries apart or modify them. The batteries must not be damaged,
crushed, pierced or exposed to high temperatures. If a battery is handled inappro-
priately, it could be a risk of combustion or explosion.
● Do not leave the batteries in hot or cold places, as you will reduce the capacity
and lifetime of the batteries. Always try to keep batteries at room temperature. A
system with hot or cold batteries may not work temporarily, even if the batteries
are fully charged.
● Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuit can occur when a metallic
object causes a direct connection between the + (plus) and - (minus) terminals
of the battery, for example when a spare battery is carried in a pocket or bag.
Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the object that causes
the short-circuiting.
If leaked battery fluid comes into contact with your eyes, immediately flush out your eyes
with water and consult a doctor, as it may result in blindness or other injury. If leaked bat-
tery fluid comes in contact with your body or hands, wash thoroughly with water.
If leaked battery fluid comes into contact with the instrument, carefully wipe the instrument,
avoiding direct contact with your hands.
