Charging the Batteries
10 Gryphon™ I GBT4102
As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries
will lose capacity over time. Capacity deterioration is
noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is
in use or not. It is difficult to precisely predict the finite life
of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at 500
charge cycles. In other words, the batteries should be
expected to take 500 full discharge / charge cycles before
needing replacement. This number is higher if partial dis-
charging / recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep
discharging.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not place the battery in or near fire, on
stoves or other high temperature locations.
Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or
use or store the battery inside cars in hot
weather. Doing so may cause the battery to
generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the
battery in this manner may also result in a
loss of performance and a shortened life
expectancy.
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens,
high-pressure containers or on induction
cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if,
while using, charging or storing the battery,
the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot,
changes color or shape, or appears abnormal
in any other way.
Do not replace the battery pack when the
device is turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s
label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in
any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be
supervised.
CAUTION
Storage of batteries for long time at fully charged
status or at fully discharged status should be
avoided.
