Old equipment must not be disposed of in household waste. Every consumer is legally obligated to dispose of old equipment that can no longer be used separately from household waste, for example at a collection point for recyclables.
To ensure proper recycling and reduce negative impact on the environment, electronic devices must be taken to a local collection point. For this reason, electronic devices are marked with the symbol shown below.

Dustbin IconBatteries and accumulators must not be disposed of in household waste. As a consumer, you are legally obligated to dispose of all batteries and accumulators, regardless of whether they contain pollutants or not, at a designated collection point so they can be handled in a way that is responsible, safe, and better for the environment.

Marked with: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead. Discharge batteries before disposing of them at an appropriate collection point.

Maintenance and Important Information

It is recommended to use AB2000 in an environment at 15°C~30°C, away from water, fire and other sharp objects. When using for the first time, please remove the charge and discharge limit of the battery, and then perform the following cycle once: discharge the battery to 0%, then charge it to 100%.
For long-term storage, please charge and discharge AB2000 once every 3 months. That is, discharge AB2000 to 30% SOC first, and then recharge it to 60% SOC.
If the power of AB2000 is lower than 1% SOC after use, please charge it to 60% SOC before storing it. Leaving the battery discharged for a long time can cause irreversible damage to the battery and shorten the service life of AB2000.
Do not disassemble AB2000. When service or repair is required, please consult official Zendure channels. Improper disassembly or reassembly may result in a risk of fire or personal injury.
Do not place AB2000 in direct sunlight.

The AB2000 will forcibly implement a discharge lower limit of 5% in the following situations:

  • Battery temperature < -5° C
  • Battery temperature < 0° C for 30 mins

This can prevent over-discharging of the AB2000 and extend the battery life.
