Caring for the battery

  • Store the light at room temperature in a dry place. Avoid moisture, or extreme hot or cold.
  • Store the light in the charged condition. Avoid ‘deep discharge’. Battery life will decrease if the battery is stored in a fully discharged condition.
  • Over time, the run time of the battery will diminish. Expect about 500 full charges, depending on care. After a full life, the battery will continue to charge but with a lower run time. When the run time is unsatisfactory, do not open the case of the light or incinerate; please recycle.

Traveling with the battery
When traveling by air, verify with your carrier how lithium ion batteries of this capacity must be treated. Often these lights need to be packed in carry- on luggage.

Recycling
Please recycle the battery. In the US, you can find out where to do this at www.call2recycle.org.

This symbol on the product(s) and/or accompanying documents means that used electrical and electronic products should not be mixed with general household waste. For proper treatment, recovery and recycling, outside the US, please take this product(s) to designated collection points. Alternatively, in some countries you may be able to return your products to your local retailer upon purchase of an equivalent new product. Disposing of this product correctly will help save valuable resources and prevent any potential negative effects on human health and the environment, which could otherwise arise from inappropriate waste handling.
