To avoid unnecessary expense and help protect the environment, here's how to maintain and extend the life of your Lithium-Ion battery.

 

1 - When using your battery :

° Before using your battery for the first time, charge it to between 80 and 100%.

° Avoid discharging your battery completely and too quickly (e.g. from 100% to 0% in 15 minutes).

° If you are using a machine that consumes a lot of energy, use several batteries, without emptying them completely.

° Do not use your machine in damp or rainy conditions.

 

2 - When your battery is charging :

° Charge your battery at a temperature between +15° and +25°C

° Never charge your battery at a temperature below 0°C

° Do not leave your battery on its charger for more than 4 consecutive hours.

° Do not charge your battery in direct sunlight in summer or on a radiant heater

° Do not charge your battery in very damp or rainy conditions.

 

3 - When you are not using your battery (storage period) :

° Check the battery's charge level every 3 to 4 months and keep it charged to over 50%.

° Do not leave the battery connected to a machine or charger (even if it is not plugged in) to avoid leakage currents (loss of electrical current to earth or conductive elements). (loss of electrical current to earth or conductive elements)

° The battery must be stored in a dry, ventilated place at a temperature of between +10° and +50° C.

° Do not store your battery in direct sunlight in summer or on a radiator.
