1.Storage Temperature and Humidity
(Short-term)
In a dry location with low humidity (Max.85%), no corrosive gases, at a
temperature range of -20ºC to 45ºC.
In a location where humidity is extremely high or with temperature
below -20ºC or above 45ºC, the metallic parts of battery will rust and
result in electrolyte leakage due to expansion or contraction in parts
composed of organic materials.
2.Long-term Storage (2 years,-20ºC to 35ºC)
As long-term storage can accelerate battery self-discharge and lead to
the deactivation of reactants, locations where the temperature ranges
between 10ºC and 30ºC are suitable for long-term storage.
When charge for the first time after long-term storage, deactivation of
reactants may have led to increased battery voltage and decreased
battery capacity.Restore such batteries to original performance through
repeating several cycles of charge and discharge.
When storing battery for more than 1 year, charge at least once a year
to prevent leakage and deterioration in performance due to self-
discharge.When using a rapid charger of voltage detection type, carry
out charge and discharge at least once every 6 months.
Note:
To get the best performance, charge your battery for more than 12
hours at the first time after unpacking, and carry out 3 cycles of charge
and discharge under proper conditions.

Rechargeable Battery Installation & Use
The provided battery can be recharged for about 300 times. It
takes about 4-5 hours to recharge the battery, then the red
indicator is put out and the green one flashes. A fully charged
battery can power the unit for about 2.5 hours. Power
consumption depends on the operations of the player such as
brightness of the screen, volume level, etc.
Recharge the battery when fully spent in order to maximize
its life.
Never recharge the battery already fully charged.
Under no circumstance should you short out the battery, store it
in a metal container, or leave it in a humid or damp environment.
Store the battery in an airtight container if possible. Recharge
effectiveness will degrade when environmental temperatures
drop below 10 ºC or exceed 35 ºC.
