Rechargeable battery for NAO RL headlamp

Li-Ion rechargeable battery. Capacity: 3200 mAh.

Nomenclature

1. Battery switch,
2. USB Type-C port for charging the rechargeable battery,
3. Energy gauge,
4. Red lighting.

Charge it completely before first use.
In general, Li-Ion rechargeable batteries lose 10 % of their capacity each year. After 300 charge/discharge cycles, they still have about 70 % of their initial capacity.

WARNING
Charge only with a USB Type-C cable. The charger’s output voltage must not exceed 5 V. Use only a Class II electrical, CE/UL-approved charger (double insulation against hazardous voltages). Do not leave the battery unattended while charging. Your rechargeable battery’s connectors must be dry when charging.

Charging time
Charging time is 3 hours and 30 minutes with the USB charger or a computer. Note: if several USB devices are connected to your computer, the charging time can increase. During charging, the 5 LEDs on the energy gauge will blink. The blink speed varies depending on the charging speed. When charging is complete, the LEDs are lit a steady green. The energy gauge lights when the lamp is turned on or off. One short press of the battery switch lights the energy gauge.

Using the R1 rechargeable battery as a backup battery
If necessary, you can use the R1 rechargeable battery to recharge your phone or watch. To start charging, do one short press on the battery switch. Note: charging time may vary depending on the connected device. Per current electromagnetic compatibility regulations, the battery may be subjected to power surges when it is connected to the power grid for recharging. So it is necessary to use a charger with surge protection (IEC 61000-4-5 standard or CE marking).
