Storage And Transportation; Battery Lifetime And Disposal - ActSafe TCX Assault User Manual

E.09 STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
» All lithium-ion batteries degenerate
over time, even if they are properly
stored. Disconnect the Battery
when stored for longer periods
with 100% charge
» If storing a Battery for a long
time, recharge the Battery
every third month
» Ideally store the Battery at
room temperature of 5°C (41°F)
to 25°C (77°F). Storing at higher
temperatures will result in a
loss of performance and a
shortened service life
» Do not store the batteries at
temperatures higher than 60°C
(140°F) for extended periods,
as this will cause damage
to the Battery and possibly
result in fire. *Batteries stored in
temperatures below 5°C (41°F) will
show severe loss in performance
during use, but will not sustain any
permanent damage because of
the storage in low temperatures
» The user assumes total responsibility
for all risks associated with lithium-
based Battery technology
» Product warranty is limited to
original defects in material and
workmanship. The Warranty
does not cover collateral damage
The Battery lifetime is dependent
on a lot of different factors such as:
intensity of use, charging cycles,
storage temperature etc. For this
reason it is very difficult to give a
specific indication on the service
life of a Battery, see also E.01.
The Battery Management System
or BMS constantly monitors the
condition of all the cells in the
Battery and is designed to shut
the Battery down auto-matically
if the cells become too worn out.
In this instance the Battery can
no longer be used.
E.10 BATTERY LIFETIME
AND DISPOSAL
Do not incinerate or dispose
of the Battery in your normal
waste system. Dispose of the
Battery at a recycling centre as
per the appropriate regulations.
CAUTION
Storing an empty Battery or a
Battery with low charge level
can damage the Battery
irreversibly (deep discharging).
Store in conditioned environment.
NOTE
Batteries are fully regulated
as Dangerous Goods (Class 9
UN3480 Lithium Ion Batteries)
and must be handled and
shipped accordingly A defective
Battery must not be shipped.
