Batteries have been designed to provide maximum

trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will

eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack

and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these

batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry,

could result in a serious burn.

To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the

following:

For lithium-ion batteries:

„ Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is

fully charged and ready for use.

For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:

„ Store the battery pack where the temperature is below

27°C (80°F) and away from moisture.

„ Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.

„ Every six months of storage, charge the pack as

normal.

For nickel-cadmium batteries:

„ Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is

fully charged and ready for use.

For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:

„ Store the battery pack where the temperature is below

27°C (80°F).

„ Store battery packs in a "discharged" condition.

Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals with

heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy

or disassemble battery pack or remove any of its

components. Lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium batteries

must be recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never

touch both terminals with metal objects and/or body

parts as short circuit may result. Keep away from

children. Failure to comply with these warnings could

result in fire and/or serious injury.
