After long-term storage, the battery delivers less than full capacity on the first cycle. When a
battery is placed in extended storage, it is recommended that it receive a refresh charge at the
following intervals:
Caution:
• Do not incinerate the battery.
• Do not directly connect the negative and positive terminals.
• Do not use other chargers than those specified by Spacelabs Medical.
• Do not drop the battery or subject it to strong physical shock.
• Do not use the battery to power equipment other than that specified by Spacelabs
Medical.
• Do not use below environmental temperatures -10° C (15° F) or above 65° C (149° F).
If the temperature exceeds this upper limit, a safety device will automatically prevent
operation of the battery.

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries require no special attention during storage.
Storage should not exceed 12 months or degradation of capacity may result.
Typical life of NiMH batteries will be up to 600 charge/discharge cycles.
Storage Conditions:
<1 year at -20° to 35° C (-4° to 95° F)
Recycling of NiMH batteries is not required, however there are recycling stations which will reclaim
the nickel in the expended batteries, so recycling whenever possible is recommended.
