Repair; Cleaning, Maintenance And Storage - Pepperl+Fuchs Ecom Smart-Ex 02 DZ2 Safety Manual

These batteries have 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 aging process 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 technically defective after 500 charge cycles. Moreover, the battery cells
could expand and cause irreparable damage to your device in a worst case sce-
nario.
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 disassembled and they should not be burned or exposed to temperatures ex-
ceeding 100 °C.
