Notes On The Battery; Parts Identification - Sony BC-DWX1 Operating Instructions Manual

• Avoid usage and storage in the presence of excessive
dust or active gases, or in locations exposed to direct
sunlight.

Notes on the Battery

Charge the battery in an ambient temperature range of
10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F). Efficient charging may not
be possible at other temperatures.
Battery usage
• Battery performance drops in low ambient temperatures,
resulting in shorter usable durations. To extend the usage
duration in low ambient temperatures, place the battery
in your pocket, for example, and insert it in the unit
immediately before use.
• The battery is not waterproof. Be careful not to wet the
battery.
• Do not leave the battery in high temperature
environments, such as inside a hot car or under direct
sunlight.
• If the battery terminals are dirty, problems, such as
power not being supplied or charging not being possible,
may occur. In such cases, wipe the battery terminals with
a dry cloth or cotton swab to remove the dirt.
Battery storage
• Even during extended periods of disuse, charge the
battery about once a year to maintain its functionality.
After charging the battery, insert it in the unit, use the
storage function to discharge it, and then remove it from
the unit before storing it in a cool location with low
humidity.
• To prevent dirtying of the terminals, short circuits, or
other problems, place the removed battery in a plastic
bag, for example, and keep it away from metal objects
during transport or storage.
Battery life cycle
• The battery is a consumable part. The battery's charge
capacity will gradually decrease as time passes and the
battery is used. When the battery's usable duration
becomes drastically reduced, it may have reached the
end of its life cycle. Purchase a new battery in such
cases.
• The battery's life cycle will vary depending on storage
methods, usage conditions, and environments.
