Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries (Li-Ion)

The appliance is equipped with rechargeable Li-ion batteries. This results in numerous advantages compared to other batteries and accumulators:

• A high cell voltage (more volts)
• No memory effect
• A low self-discharge

Safe Handling of Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries

In general, Li-ion batteries are considered safe. Nevertheless, hazards may result from mechanical damage, electrical faults, and thermal effects. Mechanical damage may result in the leakage of gaseous or liquid substances thatcan be highly irritating, flammable or even toxic.]n An electrical fault, such as a short circuit, may lead to overheating and cause a fire. Even the heating of the outer shell of a Li-ion battery, e. g. due to sunlight or a heating element, may lead to fire or an explosion. However, Li-ion batteries are safe when handled properly. Only if used or stored improperly they may become dangerous. Therefore:

• Avoid temperatures above 40 °C and below 0 °C.
• Do not drop the appliance or the rechargeable battery.
• In case the Li-Ion battery has been dropped and is now damaged, stop using it.
• When storing or disposing of the appliance, mask the terminals to prevent short circuits.
• Dispose of old accumulators properly in collecting containers at the trader or at municipal collection points.

Extending the Life of the Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery

For Li-ion batteries, even more than with other accumulators, their life can be extended by treating them properly. The following simple rules for charging and storing help you keeping the capacity of the battery:

• Temperature: The ideal temperature for these batteries ranges from 10 °C – 25 °C. Temperatures above may lead to premature aging.
• Charging and discharging: During charging cycles, both full charge and deep discharge should be avoided.

When the charging process of the battery is completed, you should disconnect the charger immediately. A charge up to 90 % is considered best. Conversely, it is also preserving the battery more when it is not discharged to 0 %. If the possibility arises, you should already recharge the battery when it is reaching a charge state of 30 %.

• Storage: Always store batteries in a dry place and at moderate temperatures between 10 °C and 20 °C.

Also consider the effect of self-discharge! When the accumulator is already empty, this effect may lead to a deep discharge resulting in damaging the batery. If you intend to store the battery for an extended period of time, you can counteract this effect. We then recommend charging the battery to approx. 40 % before storage. You should check the state of charge after not more than a month.
