4 Battery
The internal battery of the COMPANO 100 test set is a 152 Wh rechargeable lithium-ion battery. When
working with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, certain safety issues apply:
• There is a risk of fire and burns when handled inappropriately. Do not drop or crush the battery,
and refrain from opening it. Do not short out the battery contacts, and never expose the battery to
high temperatures. Dispose of properly. The battery may explode if damaged or disposed of in fire.
• Do not immerse in any liquid. Avoid the battery to come in contact with chemicals.
• Before charging the battery, read the relevant chapters of the manual. Use the OMICRON-
supplied charger, only. Do not charge the battery in a flammable environment. Charge/discharge
the battery in the permitted temperature range, only (→ User Manual chapter Technical Data ►
Battery). To avoid damaging the battery, charging is terminated automatically when the
temperature exceeds that range. You can check the battery status and temperature at Setup ►
Battery Info.
• If the battery is fully charged, the charger stops charging. If kept connected, the charger restarts
charging automatically if the battery is down to approximately 90 %. If the charger is reconnected
to the power supply, charging will start immediately (as long as the temperature is within the
specified range → chapter "Technical data" ► "Battery" in User Manual).
• If you do not use the COMPANO 100 test set for a longer period of time, recharge the battery once
every 6 months.
