Follow these expert tips to protect your product and avoid battery-related issues:
Keep your battery in top condition with these simple maintenance tips:
Clean battery terminals
Wipe the terminals regularly with dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust, debris or moisture.
Avoid storing the battery in the charger
Once fully charged, remove the battery from the charger to avoid overcharging or unnecessary wear on the charger.
Remove the battery when not in use
Detach the battery from your equipment when storing or transporting to prevent accidental discharge or damage.
Improper storage can lead to battery failure.
Follow these essential BLi-X battery storage guidelines:
Cover the terminals for safety
When packing for transport, use non-conductive tape over the terminals to avoid short circuits.
Use a secure storage container
Store the battery in a sturdy, non-metallic box to prevent contact with static electricity or conductive materials.
Avoid heat and sunlight
Never store the battery in a hot car, in direct sunlight or in unconditioned spaced such as outdoor sheds and garages.
Keep within safe temperatures
Store the battery between 5-25°C (41-77°F) to prevent degradation.
Charge to 30-50% before long-term storage
For extended storage, ensure that the battery has a partial charge to avoid deep discharge.
Your charger needs care too. Here is how to extend its lifespan:
Clean regularly
Dust off charger exterior and terminals using a dry cloth or soft brush.
Inspect the power cord
Check for signs for ware and damage. If the power cord is compromised, unplug immediately and avoid using it.
Store in a safe space
Like the battery, store your charger in a clean and dry environment at 5-25°C (41-77°F) when not in use.
Unplug after charging
Once charging is complete, disconnect both the battery and the power plug. Leaving the charger powered continuously can reduce its lifespan.
