Cautions concerning use and storage
N
of the rechargeable Li-ion battery pack
Do not use the battery with the outer
• covering or label removed, as doing so may result in malfunction. Temperature when using: 5 to 35°C
• (41 to 95°F) Temperature when charging: 5 to 35°C
• (41 to 95°F) Do not use the battery pack near fire
• or inside a car exposed to the hot sun, etc. (Locations in which the temperature reaches 60°C [140°F] or higher.)
At high temperatures, the safety mechanisms
• and protective devices inside the battery pack may be damaged, causing an abnormal chemical reaction to occur, or causing the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat. If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are damaged, the battery pack will become unusable. An environment with extremely high or low temperatures will cause the battery capacity to deteriorate and shorten the usable time, and may even shorten the battery life. Avoid storing the battery pack with it near full
• charge. It is recommended to store the battery pack when it is near fully discharged. If the battery pack is completely discharged, it
• may become unable to be recharged again. To avoid this, charge the battery pack for at least five minutes every six months.
Storage temperature: 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F)
When not using the battery pack, remove it from the unit and store at 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F) in a place with no condensation. Do not keep in a place where the temperature reaches 45°C (113°F) or higher.
Humidity: 10 to 90% (no condensation)
Depending on the usage environment, the Li-ion battery pack may expand as it nears the end of its battery life. This is a characteristic of Li-ion batteries and does not pose a hazard.
Li-ion batteries are consumable products. As you continue to use and recharge the battery pack, the amount of time until the battery pack discharges will gradually shorten. When a fully charged battery pack discharges in less than half the time as at the time of purchase, the battery pack is nearing the end of its battery life. We recommend replacing the battery pack as soon as possible in such cases.
