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 completely 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 battery
will regain its full capacity. In the case that the battery no longer provides sufficient energy for
operating 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 longer period of time, a self-discharge may occur. The
capacity will be lost and the batteries may become permanently defective. 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 heed the given charging time in order to prevent overcharging and the resulting
destruction of the battery (the KaWe charging station KaWe MedCharge® 3000 + 4000 has
an integrated automatic shut-off). NiMH batteries lose their capacity at low temperatures
(as low as 0°C).
1.
Keep the batteries away from heating installations and open flames.
2.
Batteries are not to
be immersed in water or salt water
3.
Never try to disassemble or modify the batteries or
expose them to heat.
4.
Avoid dropping the batteries and protect them against being hit or
crushed as this may damage the housing.
5.
Please only use the batteries and accessory parts
recommended by KaWe.
6.
When using a rechargeable battery for the first time, please make
sure to charge it completely.
The use of batteries that are not explicitly approved for these units may cause explosions or
leakages and the risk of fire, injuries and damage to surroundings. In the case that a battery
begins to leak and spilled substances come into contact with eyes, mouth, skin or clothing,
immediately rinse the effected spot with water and consult a doctor.
