To the purchasers of the NERO XL Battery Pack
The NERO XL Lithium-ion Battery Pack has a rated capacity more than 100 Wh.
It CAN NOT BE TRANSPORTED by AIR, as it is hazardous lithium-ion battery pack. Related laws and regulations are, however, subject to change. For detailed conditions regarding the transport of battery packs, please consult your respective transport company.

Battery life

• Battery life may be shortened due to storage or operation in high temperatures, storage with its full capacity, and frequent use.
• Renew the battery pack when the operating time with a completely charged battery pack becomes noticeably short or all LEDs flash because the self-diagnostics function has detected the end of battery life. If a Battery pack is deteriorated, all LEDs may not light when the CHECK button is pressed just after charging is completed.

Self-diagnostic function
When an abnormality is detected, all the LE Ds flash. If this happens, stop using the battery pack immediately. Once the LEDs start flashing, the battery pack cannot be recharged

This product with the CE marking complies with the EMC Directive issued by the Commission of the European Community. Compliance with this directive implies conformity to the following

European standards:

• EN55103-1: Electromagnetic Interference (Emission)
•  EN55103-2: Electromagnetic Susceptibility (Immunity)

• Open the rubber protective cover with USB sign on it.
• Plug in the USB lead and connect with device that need to be charged.
• Press the CHECK Button to switch on the USB charging.
• To keep USB socket away from dust close the USB output with rubber protective cover.

Caution on Use

• Never short-circuit the battery pack terminals.

• Never attempt to open the battery pack.

• Avoid mechanical shock.

• Please consult the store where you purchased this battery pack or your sales representative before using the battery pack in a product whose Operation Manual/Operating Instructions does not explicitly state that the battery pack can be used, or before using the battery pack in conjunction with another power supply. In appropriate use of the battery pack may result in unit misoperation.

• The internal impedance of the battery pack increases as the temperature drops to 5°C (41°F) or below. This may result in a shorter operating time or the failure of the component to which it is connected to turn on. This phenomenon occurs more frequently in battery packs that have been charged many times than in new ones.
  • The performance and operating time of the battery may drop under cold conditions. When this happens, do the following to extend the operating time of the battery pack:

  • Best Charging Performances is provided with HEDBOX charger model RP-DC100 V within temperature range of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).

• Large discharge amount may expedite deterioration of battery pack’s internal cells.

• The maximum discharge amount is 15A for the NERO XL at 23°C (73°F). Continuous use at levels beyond the maximum discharge level may cause the protection circuit to shut off the current, to protect the internal battery cells.

Caution On storage

• Never expose the battery pack to rain or moisture.
• Keep away from children.
• Never expose the battery pack to temperatures above 60°C (140°F). Store the battery pack in dry place at temperatures between 0°C to 23°C (32°F to 73°F).
• If the battery pack is to be stored for a short period (approximately more than 24 hours and a month or less), discharge the battery pack to 90% of its full capacity to prevent deterioration of battery pack’s internal cells.
• When storing the battery pack for an extended period (more than a month), it is recommended that you discharge the battery pack to about 50% of its full capacity. (The two LED light up) While the battery pack is stored, charge it until the capacity reaches 50% once in 6 months.
• If the battery pack terminals become soiled, clean them with a soft cloth.
