charge cycles.
If the device is not in service for an extended period (more than several weeks), remove the
battery from the device. Refer to the Storage section later in this appendix for additional details.
Replacement
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles, and eventually need to be
replaced and disposed of. The capacity of the battery to maintain a charge gradually decreases
with use. The rate of decrease depends on the depth of discharge and operating temperatures;
the deeper the batteries are discharged and the higher the ambient temperature, the shorter the
service life.
For best performance of your device, we recommend replacing weak batteries as soon as
possible.
Signs of weak batteries:
Batteries discharge faster than normal
Service time for the battery is much shorter
A weak battery charges faster than normal
Disposal
Lithium batteries contain metallic lithium that will interact with moisture unpredictably, so these
batteries must be disposed appropriately. Spent batteries should be discharged fully prior to
disposal. Please check with your local government about their Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Program.
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should batteries be incinerated as this may cause the batteries to
explode violently.
Storage
Note that even though in storage, batteries will age and experience permanent loss of battery
capacity. To minimize the aging process while in storage, consider the following:
Store in a cool dry place, higher temperatures accelerate the aging process
The battery is best stored when approximately half charged
Remove the battery from the device, and pack and seal in clean insulated bag or plastic
baggie
Avoid possible freezing
