5.3 Battery

5.3.1 Battery Informationen

BARTEC rechargeable battery packs (type 17-A1Z0-0002) are designed and constructed to the highest standards within

the industry. However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing replacement.

Many factors affect the actual life cycle of a battery pack, such as heat, cold, harsh environmental conditions and falls from

heights. When batteries are stored over six months, some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur.

Store batteries discharged in a dry, cool place, removed from the equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic

parts and electrolyte leakage. When storing batteries for ½ year or longer, they should be charged and discharged at least

once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any contact with affected area and properly dispose of the battery.

Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected. Batteries must be charged within the

0° to +40 °C (32° to 104° F) temperature range.

Standard warranty period for all BARTEC batteries is 1 year, regardless of whether the battery was purchased separately

or included as part of the mobile computer.
