2.5.1 Battery Tips
Battery life depends on the load, use frequency, temperature, setting, and accessories you use. Always use Rice
Lake Weighing Systems original batteries (PN 103637) and chargers. The warranty does not cover damage caused
by using non-Rice Lake batteries and/or chargers.
• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge. When charging your battery,
keep it near room temperature.
• Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10 º C (14 º F) or above 45 º C (113 º F).
• It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging times. If you notice a change in
your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
• New batteries are shipped partially charged. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/
discharge cycles. The battery may self-discharge while in storage on the shelf and require a full
battery charge upon first usage. The average charge time for the battery is eight hours.
• Do not dispose of used batteries in normal trash. Follow the proper disposal or recycling requirements in
accordance with local laws and regulations.
• When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode. Regulations vary for different areas.
Dispose of batteries in accordance to local regulations.
