Battery Maintenance
For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:
r Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;
r Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;
r Use only a STANDARD HORIZON, (a Marine Division of VERTEX
STANDARD) approved charger. The use of any other charger may
cause permanent damage to the battery.
r Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
r 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!
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DIS-
POSED OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER.
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 lithium-ion battery recycler. This may be
where you purchased the battery.
Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding
the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of lithium-ion bat-
teries.
