4.1.2
The battery must be charged before using it for the first time because it is delivered with an energy
content as low as possible.
The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to +40 °C/+32 °F to +104 °F. For
optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10 °C to
+20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F if possible.
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recommended by
GeoMax, it is not possible to charge the battery once the temperature is too high.
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is effectual
to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend carrying
out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a GeoMax product deviates
significantly from the actual battery capacity available.
The batteries can be operated from -30°C to +60°C/-22°F to +140°F.
Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating temperatures
reduce the service life of the battery.
