Battery Maintenance
For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:
• Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;
• Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;
• Use only a STANDARD HORIZON, (a Marine Division of VERTEX STAN-
DARD) approved charger. The use of any other charger may cause
permanent damage to the battery.
• Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
• Keep the battery contacts clean.
Battery Storage
Store batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries are
subject to self-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause large
self-discharge rates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended.
Battery Recycling
DO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH!
NICKEL-METAL-HYDRIDE BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RE-
CYCLED OR DISPOSED OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MAN-
NER.
The incineration, land filling or mixing of nickel-cadmium batteries with the
municipal solid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas.
Return batteries to an approved Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery recycler. This
may be where you purchased the battery.
Contact your local waste management officials for other information re-
garding the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of
Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries.
