Anton/Bauer HyTRON 140 - Manual (Page 14)

GUIDELINES FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
AND MAXIMUM LIFE
1. Keep batteries cool or at room temperatures whenever possible.
Sustained elevated temperatures are the primary reason for premature
failure of NiMH batteries:
a. Charging - Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm
climates keep chargers in air conditioned rooms that are
maintained between 65°F to 85°F for best performance.
b. On assignment - Do not leave batteries in a hot vehicle trunk or
out in direct sunlight unnecessarily.
c. Storage - If batteries are not going to be used for several months,
they should be fully discharged, sealed in a plastic bag and
stored in a refrigerator.
2. Use only Anton/Bauer Logic Series InterActive LifeSaver Chargers
and keep batteries on the charger until just prior to being used.
3. Return batteries to the Logic Series InterActive Charger as soon as
possible after use, preferably within 24 hours.
4. Do not over-discharge batteries - It is quite proper to discharge a battery
until a low voltage warning in the camera or VTR is observed. However,
a switch to a fresh battery should occur as soon as possible following such
indication.
a. A HyTRON battery should be changed as soon as possible after a
"flashing ‘RES’ segment" is indicated. Never continue to use a
HyTRON battery after the “EOD” segment has appeared.
b. Never leave a battery operated device unattended while it is
running.
c. DO NOT LEAVE A BATTERY ATTACHED TO A
CAMERA/CAMCORDER during transit or storage. “Keep warm”
circuitry in the camera can overdischarge the battery.
