CORE rechargeable battery for TIKKA
Li-Ion rechargeable battery, compatible with the TIKKA
headlamps.
Capacity: 900 mAh.
Recharge your battery with a USB 5 V output charger.
Charge it completely before first use.
The Li-Ion battery loses 10 % of its capacity per year. It can be
recharged 300 times (after 300 times, it will still have 70 % of its
original capacity).
Use the battery at temperatures between -30° C and +60° C.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Conforms to the requirements of the 89/336/CEE directive on
electromagnetic compatibility.
Warning, an avalanche beacon in receive (find) mode can experience
interference when in proximity to your CORE battery. In case of
interference (indicated by static noise from the beacon), move the
beacon away from the rechargeable battery.
Nomenclature of parts
(1) Energy gauge, (2) Battery contacts, (3) USB A/micro B cable,
(4) USB micro B port.
Charging the battery
Recharge only with a USB 5 V charger, for example:
- Computers (they must be turned on and in use).
- Solar panels with a USB 5 V output (preferably panels delivering at
least 5 W or 1 A for faster charging).
- PETZL CORE E93110 charger (allows charging from 110-220 V wall
socket or car cigar-lighter socket).
You can charge your battery separately from the lamp.
Warning
Recharge only with a USB A/micro B cable. The charger's
output voltage must not exceed 5 V. Never recharge using the
battery contacts: risk of explosion and/or fire.
Charge time is three hours. The charge time can be longer if the
power delivered by the charger is insufficient.
During charging, one of the energy gauge's three bars blinks every
second. The color of the blinking bar indicates the battery's charge
level:
- Red: Battery charged 0 to 33 %.
- Orange: Battery charged 33 to 66 %.
- Green: Battery charged 66 to 100 %.
When charging is complete, the green bar on the energy gauge is
constantly lit.
If the blinking is slower (every three seconds), this means that the
power delivered by the charger is insufficient; the charge time will
be longer.
- Batteries should always be charged at a temperature between 0 °C
and 40 °C to avoid battery deterioration.
Charging indicator
You can verify the battery charge level by turning on your lamp. One
of the energy gauge bars is constantly lit:
- green bar: battery charged 66 to 100 %.
- orange bar: battery charged 33 to 66 %.
- red bar: battery charged 20 to 33 %.
When the red bar is blinking (battery charged 0 to 20 %), the battery
should be recharged. The lamp will also blink as a reminder to
recharge.
Attention: if you use your TIKKA PLUS, ZIPKA PLUS or TIKKA XP
lamp with the CORE rechargeable battery, the battery charge
indicator on your lamp is no longer valid.
