The battery offers a better performance when used at the
recommended temperature (20°C ± 5°C).
To extend its lifetime, some recommendations must be
considered:
▪ The battery must be charged with a room temperature
around 4°C and 30°C;
▪ Make sure that the battery is charged with a VITO
recommended charger. The utilization of other chargers
increases the risk of fire, overheating or leakage;
▪ The batteries have limited number of charging cycles.
For this reason, the battery must be charged when
reaches the minimum level of charge;
▪ The lithium batteries should only be charged at 10 or
20% of charge and not when completely discharged;
▪ After a long period of storage, it may be necessary to
charge and discharge the battery several times to obtain
a maximum performance.
To charge the battery, follow these steps:
1. Insert the battery in the charger;
2. Plug the charger's power cable in the electric socket;
The charge level indicating lights start blinking. As the
battery charges, the LEDs will stay on permanently.
3. The battery is fully charged when all indicating lights are
permanently on;
4. Remove the power cable from the electric socket and the
battery from the charger.
During charging, the charger/battery set can get hot,
which is normal and does not indicate any
malfunction. If the battery is hot, you should let it cool down
before charging.
Always turn the charger off before inserting or removing the
battery.
To obtain better results, make sure the battery is fully
charged before use it.
1. Press the charge level trial button (4);
2. The active charge level indicating lights (5) represent the
battery status.
1 led – 0 – 25 %
2 leds – 25 – 50 %
3 leds – 50 – 75 %
4 leds – 75 – 100 %
The battery does not require additional maintenance.
However, it needs a regular cleaning to operate
continuously with no issues.
Cleaning
Clean the battery with a clean and dry cloth or blow it with
low pressure compressed air. A careful handling protects
the battery and extends its lifespan.
The ventilation openings must be always clean to avoid
overheating. Clean it regularly or every time they get
obstructed.
Storage
The batteries must be stored inside dry, clean and corrosive
steam free places out of children's reach. Avoid store it to
direct sunlight or near heat/cold sources. Keep the
batteries at the room temperature.
Do not store the battery inside places where the room
temperature is 40°C or higher.
The lithium batteries (Li-ion) should not be left unloaded
for a long time or stored fully charged. The charge level
must be between 40 and 50%. In the event of a
spontaneous discharge, the recharge must be at least every
12 months.
