General requirements when packing test sets with built-in batteries
• Protect the test set against damage that may be caused by movement or placement within the
packaging. The packaging must be strong enough to withstand the shocks and loadings normally
encountered during carriage, including trans-shipment between different transport units and/or
warehouses.
• Test set and battery must be packed in a way that under normal conditions of carriage the battery
they cannot break, be punctured or be damaged in any other way.
• If you pack the COMPANO 100 test set with the battery inside, prevent any accidental operation of
the test set during transportation.
• Shipping spare batteries underlies stricter regulations. For details, please contact OMICRON's
Technical Support (→ Support).
4.2 Storing lithium-ion batteries
The following regulations apply to short- and long-term storage:
• Store the COMPANO 100 with an almost fully charged battery at a low temperature (we
recommend below 25 °C/77 °F) and in a low humidity environment.
• To avoid deep discharge of the battery, recharge it about every 6 months. Note that higher
temperatures result in a drastically higher self-discharge rate of the battery.
• Do not store the battery in places with direct sunlight, or near a stove.
• Do not expose the battery to condensation, water drop or not to store it under frozen condition.
• Do not store the battery in places where it is exposed to abnormal static electricity.
4.3 Handling defective lithium-ion batteries
• Consider a lithium-ion battery defective when you notice a mechanical damage, deformation,
leaking fluid, an unusual smell or similar abnormal symptoms.
Note: A battery not showing any of the above mentioned symptoms, however revealing a
noticeable capacity loss, does not need to be handled like a defective battery.
• Do not try to continue using a defective lithium-ion battery.
• Do not store or ship a defective lithium-ion battery. Hand it over to an appropriate disposal facility.
Regulations and laws pertaining to the recycling and disposal of lithium-ion batteries vary from
country to country as well as by state and local governments. Check the laws and regulations of
your home region.
