battery.

• The battery can be stored within a -20°C to 40°C temperature range.

Battery Charging

The lithium-ion battery can provide between 300-500 charge/discharge cycles. The

lithium-ion battery is different from most other rechargeable batteries as charging from a

partially charged battery keeps the battery in good condition whereas other batteries

perform better when fully discharged before recharging again. Fully discharging the

lithium-ion battery should be avoided wherever possible. For most users, charging the

battery at the end of each day is the ideal choice. The lithium-ion battery pack typically

lasts about 2-3 years, but potentially longer if cared for properly.

• When charging the battery, use dedicated chargers and follow the specified

conditions.

• Do not use or charge the battery close to fire or inside a car in which the

temperature may exceed 60°C.

• Stop charging the battery if charging is not completed within the specified time.

• Thoroughly read the user's manual for the charger before charging the battery.

• The battery can be charged within a 0°C to 45°C temperature range.

• Use the battery only in the specified equipment.

• Do not charge the battery in a place where static electricity is generated, or let the

battery touch something that is statically charged.

Recycle and Disposal Methods

Lithium ion batteries, like all rechargeable batteries are recyclable and should be

recycled.
