BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries require
routine maintenance and care in their use and
handling. Read and follow the guidelines in this
document to safely use Lithium-Ion batteries
and achieve the maximum battery life span.
OVERVIEW
Do not leave batteries unused for extended
periods of time, either in the product or in
storage. When a battery has been unused for 6
months, check the charge status and charge or
dispose of the battery as appropriate.
The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion
battery is about three years or ~500 charge
cycles, whichever occurs first. One charge cycle
is a period of use from fully charged, to fully
discharged, and fully recharged again. Use a
three-year life expectancy for batteries that do
not run through complete charge cycles.
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have a
limited life and will gradually lose their capacity
to hold a charge. This loss of capacity (aging)
is irreversible. As the battery loses capacity,
the length of time it will power the product (run
time) decreases.
Lithium-Ion batteries continue to slowly
discharge (self-discharge) when not in use or
while in storage. Routinely check the battery’s
charge status.
Use only the provided battery(s) in your
product.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Observe and note the run time that a new
fully-charged battery provides for powering
your product. Use this new battery run time
as a basis to compare run times for older
batteries. The run time of your battery will vary
depending on the product’s configuration and
the applications that you run.
Routinely check the battery’s charge status.
Carefully monitor batteries that are
approaching the end of their estimated life.
Consider replacing the battery with a new one if
you note either of the following conditions:
• The battery run time drops below about 80%
of the original run time.
• The battery charge time increases
significantly.
If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an
extended period, be sure to follow the storage
instructions in this document. If you do not
follow the instructions, and the battery has no
charge remaining when you check it, consider
it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it
or to use it. Replace it with a new battery.
CHARGING
Always follow the charging instructions provided
with your product. Refer to your product’s
user manual and/or online help for detailed
information about charging its battery.
Use only the provided charger to charge your
battery(s).

19
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
• Charge or discharge the battery to
approximately 50% of capacity before
storage.
• Charge the battery to approximately 50% of
capacity at least once every six months.
• Remove the battery and store it separately
from the product.
• Store the battery at temperatures between
5 °C and 20 °C (41 °F and 68 °F).
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a
battery.
• Do not short the external contacts on a
battery.
• Do not expose a battery to fire or water.
• Do not expose a battery to temperatures
above 60 °C (140 °F).
• Keep the battery away from children.
• Avoid exposing the battery to excessive
shock or vibration.
• Do not use a damaged battery.
• If a battery pack has leaking fluids, do not
touch any fluids.
• Dispose of a leaking battery pack (see
Disposal and Recycling in this document).
• In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub
eyes. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly
with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting
upper and lower lids, until no evidence of
the fluid remains. Seek medical attention.
• 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 way. Contact
Travel Buggy if any of these problems are
observed
TRANSPORTATION
• Always check all applicable local, national,
and international regulations before
transporting a Lithium-Ion battery.
• Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or
recalled battery may, in certain cases, be
specifically limited or prohibited.
DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
• Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to
disposal and recycling regulations that
vary by country and region. Always check
and follow your applicable regulations
before disposing of any battery. Contact
Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (www.rbrc.org) for U.S.A. and
Canada, or your local battery recycling
organization.
• Many countries prohibit the disposal of
waste electronic equipment in standard
waste receptacles.
• Place only discharged batteries in a battery
collection container. Use electrical tape or
other approved covering over the battery
connection points to prevent short circuits.
NOTE: The battery self-discharges during storage. Higher temperatures (above 20 °C or 68 °F) reduce the battery storage life.

CHARGING
• THERE IS NO NEED TO CHARGE THE
BATTERIES UPON ARRIVAL
• Your CITY 2 PLUS will arrive with fully
charged batteries
• The preferred charging method
(onboard charging) detailed below
charges both batteries at the same
time; the secondary charging method
(offboard charging) described further
down only charges one battery at a time
ONBOARD CHARGING (PREFERRED METHOD)
