Rechargeable Batteries
Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles. As with your car battery, how you use this battery has a significant impact on its lifespan. With proper use and treatment, a lead-acid battery can last for years. Here are some recommendations for getting the longest life from the internal battery.

General Usage Fully charges the battery before using it. Charge the battery completely after each use.

Storage For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than 90°F/32°C) or exceedingly cold (less than 32°F/0°C) temperatures.
It is acceptable to leave your sound system plugged in. This will not overcharge the battery.
If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 6 months, it may permanently lose capacity.

Repair If the battery fails to charge, contact ION Audio at ionaudio.com.

Disposal Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of it in accordance with local ordinances.

Outdoor Use and Care
Though Solar Stone Glow is water-resistant and able to tolerate splashing water, please review the tips below to get the best performance from Solar Stone Glow:

Bring Solar Stone Glow indoors during extreme cold, heavy rain, or melting snow.
Please do not place Solar Stone Glow in standing water.
Please do not connect the charging adapter to Solar Stone Glow in a wet environment. Make sure the charging adapter input, charging adapter, and power outlet are all completely dry before making any connections.
WARNING: Keep any non-water-resistant devices (phones, music players, etc.) in a dry place where they will not be affected by water and cause a risk of electric shock.
