Specifically, the basic rules for better battery efficiency are as follows:
➢ It is advisable to recharge completely for the first time to obtain maximum capacity.
➢ Afterwards, it is best to avoid 'stressing' it with frequent and/or partial recharging
➢ Let it go completely flat, however, every 30 charge/discharge cycles
➢ A lithium-ion battery stays healthy if used often, so it should be kept in 'training'
➢ If you plan not to use it for a while, it is best to disconnect it from the device and store it in a cool place.
Remember that the battery chemistry degrades (oxidises) less when it is about 40% charged; therefore it
should never be left completely discharged
➢ Remember that the main enemy of a lithium-ion battery is heat because it makes it age faster and also
risks creating other problems such as thermal runaway. For these reasons, it is suggested not to leave it
with the device or in direct sunlight or in particularly hot environments.
➢ Periodically it is suggested to clean the contacts with a brush with plastic bristles (e.g. polyester or similar)
making sure they are not made of metal material, to maximise the efficiency of the contact over time
➢ Charge in an environment with a temperature between 0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113°F).
NOTE: the estimated battery efficiency after 500 charging cycles is 90%.
It is suggested to replace intensively used batteries (*) after 2-3 years, also in order to optimise the functioning of
the equipment with lithium batteries of newer technology.
(*) Intensive mode means daily and frequent use of several charge/discharge cycles of the battery

DANGEROUS MISUSE
•
Avoid overcharging. The product and battery system does not allow discharging below 80%, so when an
audible and visual low battery signal is given, recharging is required
•
Do not connect unrelated chargers to this battery.
•
Do not force the connection if the connector is defective or damaged.
•
Do not recharge the battery if there is obvious mechanical, electrical or connection damage, material (mud
or other) on the contacts and/or water ingress.
•
It is forbidden to use the product if the ambient temperature is outside the permitted range.
•
It is forbidden to use the battery to power other products.
•
It is forbidden to disconnect the battery connector with the product switched on and/or in operation or during
the charging phase
•
It is forbidden to leave the battery exposed to the weather and/or heat sources.
•
Avoid cleaning it with high-pressure jets or mechanical brushes, which can damage the case or contacts,
•
Avoid mechanical shocks.
The battery connectors must be kept in perfect condition at all times. In case of breakage, damage, oxidation
phenomena, insulation damage, etc., it is imperative to replace the entire battery.
Do not attempt or perform makeshift repairs that could cause dangerous short circuits or electric shocks.
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONARY REQUIREMENTS
Only recharge with chargers specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of batteries/battery pack may create a fire hazard if used with another type of
battery pack.
Only use products with battery packs specifically defined for the product supplied.
Use of other unintended battery packs may lead to a risk of damage or fire or increase ageing of the battery pack.
When the battery/battery pack is not in use, it should be kept separated/far away from objects such as
paper, coins, keys, pins/clips, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection between the
terminals.
Short-circuiting the terminals can cause burns or fire.
