Charging the Batteries
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 discharging/
recharging is adhered to rather than full/deep discharg-
ing.
Storage of batteries for long time at fully charged
status or at fully discharged status should be
avoided.
CAUTION
Only in case of long storage, to avoid deep dis-
charge of the battery it is recommended to partially
recharge the battery every three months to keep the
charge status at a medium level.
CAUTION
As a reference, run a fast recharge for 20 minutes
every three months on unused products to avoid
any performance deterioration of the cell.
The useful life of LI batteries depends on usage and num-
ber of charges, etc., after which they should be removed
from service, especially in mission critical applications. Do
not continue to use a battery showing excessive loss of
capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of and
replaced.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the
device to comply with European Directive 2006/66/EC,
2011/65/EU, 2002/96/EC and 2012/19/EU and subse-
quent modifications, US and China regulatory and other
laws and regulations about the environment.
