Battery Information
CAUTION. Use only approved batteries. Risk of
explosion if battery is charged with an
incompatible charger, exposed to heat >60C or
replaced by an incorrect type.
European Battery Directive 2006/66/EC
Dispose of batteries separately and responsibly. All waste
batteries are classified as hazardous waste and should be
disposed of at a battery recycling centre.
Our rechargeable battery packs 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 severe drops. Batteries are considered chemical
products. As such, battery performance will deteriorate over
time if stored for a long period of time without being used. When
batteries are stored over six (6) months, some irreversible
deterioration in overall battery quality may occur. Store batteries
at half of full charge 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 one year or
longer, the charge level should be verified at least once a year
and charged to half of full charge.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is
detected. Standard warranty period for all batteries is one year
from order fulfilment, regardless if included as part of a mobile
computer with a longer warranty duration or ongoing
maintenance contract. The cycle life of batteries will vary
according to the charge and discharge conditions, the
temperature and other usage conditions. When used in
accordance with the IEC charge and discharge specifications
the typical cycle life of a battery is between 300 and 400 cycles
at room temperature. Individual results may vary.
