STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION
CipherLab battery is charged in manufacturing to around 30% of its full capacity. It is a

good capacity for long-term storage & transportation.
Battery should NOT be stored in full-charged or full-discharge state; otherwise it will

damage battery permanently.
Battery subjects to discharge even when not installed in a device. For any stored &

un-used battery, it is highly recommended for every 3 months to charge battery to
40%~60% of its original capacity to prolonged storage.
Always detach battery from device if you will not use device for long period of time.

Store battery indoor temperature between 0℃ to 30℃ for the best performance.

Do NOT store battery in temperature exceeding 50℃, and never expose battery pack to

high external pressure for extended periods, which can lead to an internal short circuit
and overheating.
When transporting or temporarily storing in a vehicle, temperature range should be

greater than 0℃ but no more than 45℃.
Storing battery at temperatures greater than 50℃ for extended periods of time (more

than 2 hours) may cause damage to battery.

TO USE, HANDLE, AND DISPOSE BATTERY

For Li-ion / Li-polymer battery, it is normal to balloon, expand, or swell after one year or

500 cycles (full charge-discharge cycles). Although we guarantee it will NOT cause any
damage, it can't be used again and must be disposed at once, therefore we strongly
recommend to replace battery every year or after 500 cycles, depend on which comes
first.
If a battery performance decreases more than 20%, it means the battery is at the end of

its life cycle. Please stop using this battery, dispose properly according to the location's
safe battery disposal procedures, and replace with a new / healthy one.
The actual number of charge cycle will vary depending on usage conditions, patterns,

ambient temperature, and other variables.
Deep discharge below 3V can deteriorate battery performance.

Use caution to avoid puncture of the battery. Puncture of battery may damage battery

cell.
Periodically and properly dispose used battery according to local regulations.
