7. BATTERY INFORMATION

After 12 to 18 months, you should replace the battery. For this purpose open the battery cover and
replace the battery with a new. Please find the item number of the replacement battery in section
16. Technical data and order at
https://www.profi-pumpe.de/GARTEN-u-ZIMMER-BRUNNEN/Ersatzteile-Gartenbrunnen:::230_300.html.
Please note the limited implied warranty of 6 months.
Important! It must be ensured that the battery cover is properly tightened and watertight.
With repeated charge and discharge cycles Lead-Acid and NiMh battery packs are less efficient
(memory effect).
This effect is much less pronounced, but still present in small mass in the Li-ion batteries used.
Through very short and frequent loading operations and many other operational influences batte-
ries can age prematurely strong. The batteries are therefore subject to a consumable and wearing
part of a shortened warranty of 6 months.
If you find that the battery will be less efficient, the battery needs to be fully charged. These allow
the unit for 2 to 3 days (pump should not be connected) standing in the sun in order to allow a
maximum charge the battery or use a suitable external charger. We recommend to occasionally
repeat this procedure to extend the battery life.
If after this recharging the battery still does not meet expectations, you should replace the batteries.
NOTE: The battery is supplied charged. If the state of charge, contrary to expectations,
not be sufficient to charge the batteries for at least 8 hours to allow sufficient charging of
the battery (so damage the battery to avoid overcharging, the pump must be connected).
