User’s Manual/Maintenance Instructions for 
Rechargeable NiMH/Li-Ion Batteries

Purpose:

 The charging batteries are to be used as an 

energy source for the relevant KaWe products.

Unsuited use/contraindication of the prod-
ucts:

 Any use other than that described here is not 

in accordance with the intended use of the unit. The 
manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damages. 
There are no known risks. The user alone bears the risk. 
Use only the enclosed dermatoscope handle to supply 
power to the instrument. 

Further information, maintenance, storage:

The rechargeable batteries can be cleaned with a 
damp cloth and then be wiped off with a dry fabric. 
Please ensure that no short-circuit is produced.

The use of rechargeable batteries that are not explicitly 
approved for these units may cause explosions or leak-
ages and the risk of fire, injuries and damage to sur-
roundings. In the case that a rechargeable battery be-
gins to leak and spilled substances come into contact 
with eyes, mouth, skin or clothing, immediately rinse 
the effected area with water and consult a doctor.

Further maintenance instructions that may 
prolong the lifetime of the rechargeable bat-
tery:

 Please heed the following instructions: The 

non-observance of these instructions may result in the 
battery losing its full capacity within a short period of 
time. With NiMH technology, a lazy battery effect can 
occur that is analogous to the classic memory effect. It 
is triggered by the energy that has not been complete-
ly spent prior to recharging the battery. This effect can 
be nearly eliminated by completely discharging the 
battery from time to time and then by recharging it 
two or three times in quick succession. Subsequently, 
the accumulator will regain its full capacity. If the ac-
cumulator no longer provides the amount of energy 
necessary for powering the unit, immediately turn off 
the unit and charge the battery (in order to prevent it 
from losing its charge completely, which would result 
in the destruction of the battery).

Please keep in mind that the rechargeable batteries 
can spontaneously discharge. When the batteries are 
not used (charged) for a long period of time, a self-
discharge may occur. In this case, the capacity will be 
lost and the batteries may become permanently de-
fective. The manufacturer is not liable for any resulting 
damages. Therefore, when stored for more than one 
month, the batteries should be partially charged to 
approx. 50%.

Please always respect the given charging time in order 
to prevent overcharging and the resulting destruction 
of the battery (the KaWe charging station KaWe Med-
Charge® 4000 has an integrated automatic shut-off). 
NiMH rechargeable batteries lose their capacity at low 
temperatures (as low as 0°C).

Risks and notice of possible danger: 1.

 Avoid 

short-circuiting the rechargeable batteries. 

2.

 Never 

immerse the rechargeable batteries in any kind of
