EXTENDING BATTERY LIFE
• Keep extra batteries around for your convenience. Store batteries in a
dry place at normal room temperature.
• When storing batteries, remove any load or short circuit from their
terminals.
• When storing battery-powered devices for long periods (i.e., more than a
month), remove the batteries. This can prevent damage to the device
from possible battery leakage. Also, the batteries can be used for other
applications while the batteries are still "fresh." Batteries should also be
removed from equipment while it is being powered by household (AC)
current.
• When using single-cell rechargeable NiCd batteries, be sure to discharge
the cell completely before recharging it, thus counteracting the "memory"
effect.
• Do not use batteries in high-temperature situations (unless the battery is
designed for that temperature range). Store batteries as far away from
heat sources as possible. The electrical potential of the battery will
degrade rapidly if it is exposed to temperatures higher than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Follow instructions on your equipment regarding proper insertion of
batteries, making sure that the (+) and (-) terminals are aligned correctly.
• Remove worn-out batteries from equipment immediately to prevent
possible damage from battery leakage. Always replace all batteries at the
same time. Mixing old and new batteries or mixing types (such as
alkaline with Carbon Zinc) will reduce overall performance and could
cause leakage or rupture.
