Disposal
Lithium batteries are recyclable. Their components can be used as raw materials for new
batteries or other products. A requirement for effective recycling is the collection of used
batteries.
Risk of explosion when replacing and disposing of the battery.
There is the risk of an explosion if the battery is not replaced as directed. Only replace the
battery with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer. When
disposing of batteries, the local legal regulations must be observed.
Risk of fire - Hazardous to people and the environment
The improper disposal of batteries may cause fire.
Observe the local regulations for the disposal of recyclable materials.
Dispose of batteries properly.
Battery operation
The battery enables mobile use of the device, independent of an external power supply. It
also protects against data loss in the even of a power failure.
As soon as the external power supply is connected, the battery will start charging. In doing
so, the following conditions are important:
• The charging process takes a maximum of approx. 3 hours, with the device switched off
or on and also independent of the system load.
• The device monitors the battery and its temperature: Depending on its use, the internal
battery temperature may exceed the permissible ambient temperature by an amount
which limits charging. You can find more detailed information in chapter "General
specifications (Page 83)", section "Climatic conditions".
• Battery charging stops when the battery is full or when the high temperature limit for
charging the battery is exceeded. The charge level achieved can be queried in Windows.
• A charged battery will discharge itself during storage (depending on the temperature, and
whether or not it is installed) over a few months. It will then have to be recharged.
The charging level of the battery is indicated by different colors, see section "Status displays
(Page 23)".
