Battery Safety
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
47
As with other battery types, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will
lose capacity over time. Capacity deterioration is notice-
able after one year of service whether the battery is in use
or not. It is difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI
battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at 500 charge
cycles. In other words, the batteries should be expected to
take 500 full discharge/charge cycles before needing
replacement. This number is higher if partial discharging/
recharging is adhered to rather than full/deep discharging.
CAUTION: Always charge the battery at
32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature range.
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery
pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your Data-
logic reseller. The use of any other power supplies
can damage the device and void your warranty.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The bat-
tery contains safety and protection devices,
which, if damaged, may cause the battery to gen-
erate heat, explode or ignite.
CAUTION: DO NOT place the battery in or near fire,
on stoves or other high temperature locations.
DO NOT place the battery in direct sunlight, or use
or store the battery inside cars in hot weather.
Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat,
explode or ignite. Using the battery in this manner
may also result in a loss of performance and a
shortened life expectancy.
CAUTION: DO NOT place the battery in microwave
ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction
cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while
using, charging or storing the battery, the battery
emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or
shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
DO NOT replace the battery pack when the device is
turned on.
DO NOT remove or damage the battery pack’s label.
DO NOT use the battery pack if it is damaged in any
part.
Battery pack usage by children should be super-
vised.
