High quality lithium-ion batteries are used in your i.roc
numerous advantages in everyday use, such as a low weight and high capacity in a
nevertheless compact construction. In addition these batteries also exhibit practically
no memory effect. However, these batteries are susceptible to a natural ageing pro-
cess which impairs their functionality.
Modern batteries today have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which, when
used daily, corresponds to a service life of approximately 2 years. The ageing process
increases rapidly after this period, which means that the batteries are deemed techni-
cally defective after 500 charge cycles. Moreover, the battery cells could expand and
cause irreparable damage to your device in a worst case scenario.
For this reason rechargeable batteries with lithium cells should be replaced after 2
years at the latest or after reaching a battery capacity that is 50% of its initial value.

Note:
The battery used in this unit poses a fire hazard and can cause chemical injuries if it is used
improperly. Neither the battery nor the battery cells should be opened or disassem-
bled and they should not be burned or exposed to temperatures exceeding 60 °C.
