4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Using the Batteries
NOHON 1.5V rechargeable Li-ion batteries are designed to provide a stable 1.5V output, making them compatible with most devices that use standard AA or AAA batteries.
- Insert the charged batteries into your electronic devices, ensuring correct polarity.
- These batteries are suitable for a wide range of devices including keyboards, remote controls, flashlights, emergency lights, toys, clocks, electronic scales, and computer mice.
Image: Examples of devices compatible with NOHON rechargeable batteries.
4.2 Understanding Battery Voltage
NOHON 1.5V rated rechargeable lithium batteries may show readings between 1.2V and 1.5V when unused. This is a normal variance due to storage and meter tolerance and is not a defect. The batteries are fully compatible with all 1.5V devices.

5. Maintenance and Storage
5.1 General Maintenance
- Keep the batteries and charging case clean and dry.
- Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries and charger to strong impacts.
- Regularly inspect the batteries for any signs of damage, swelling, or leakage. Discontinue use immediately if any damage is observed.
5.2 Long-Term Storage
If you do not plan to use the batteries for an extended period (e.g., several months), follow these guidelines:
- Charge the batteries once every 1-2 months to maintain battery activity. Long-term storage without charging may lead to full discharge, which can damage the battery and reduce its lifespan.
- Store the batteries and charging case in a dry, well-ventilated environment.
- Keep them away from high temperatures, direct sunlight, and humidity.
- The charging case can also be used as a storage box to keep your batteries organized and protected.

6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Charging Indicators
- Flashing Green LED: Battery is currently charging.
- Solid Green LED: Battery is fully charged.
- Flashing Red LED: Indicates an incompatible battery has been inserted. Remove the battery immediately.
- Solid Red LED: Indicates high temperature. Disconnect the charger and allow it to cool down in a well-ventilated area.
The charger features a Smart Self-Test function to detect battery mismatch, overheating, or overcurrent conditions.

6.2 Common Issues
- Batteries not charging:
- Ensure the batteries are NOHON rechargeable Li-ion batteries and not NiMH or alkaline.
- Check that the USB-Type C cable is securely connected to both the charger and the power source.
- Verify the power source is providing sufficient power (e.g., 5V/3A).
- Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity.
- Battery capacity seems low:
- Ensure batteries have been fully charged before use.
- If stored for a long time without charging, the battery might have deep discharged. Regular charging during storage is recommended.
- The stated cycle life (1200/1600 cycles) refers to maintaining over 80% capacity. Capacity will gradually decline after many cycles.
- Voltage reading is not exactly 1.5V:
- As explained in Section 4.2, a reading between 1.2V and 1.5V (especially under load or when unused) is normal for 1.5V rated rechargeable lithium batteries and does not indicate a defect.

10. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q1: Can NOHON rechargeable lithium batteries be charged with a regular charger?
- A1: No. They must be charged with the dedicated NOHON lithium battery charger. Using other chargers may cause safety hazards.
- Q2: Can the NOHON dedicated lithium battery charger charge NiMH or alkaline batteries?
- A2: No. The NOHON dedicated charger is designed only for NOHON rechargeable lithium batteries. Charging other battery types may lead to danger and must be avoided.
- Q3: Can the product be used immediately after receiving it?
- A3: Yes. NOHON rechargeable lithium batteries come with a pre-charged level. However, for optimal performance, we recommend fully charging the battery before first use.
- Q4: Can NOHON lithium batteries be taken on an airplane?
- A4: Yes. They should be carried in hand luggage rather than checked baggage. According to CAAC regulations, lithium batteries must not exceed 160Wh. Each NOHON cell is 3.3Wh, which meets the requirement.
- Q5: Are the batteries environmentally friendly?
- A5: NOHON rechargeable lithium batteries have passed multiple safety and environmental tests and are mercury-free, offering safe, non-toxic use for households and children.
- Q6: What is the product shelf life?
- A6: 12 months. If you encounter any issues, please contact the platform or customer service.
- Q7: Notes on choosing a charging cable?
- A7: We recommend using the cable provided by NOHON or a certified cable produced by a reputable manufacturer that meets national standards. Do not use "3-in-1" or "multi-functional" charging cables, as they may cause damage or other safety risks.
- Q8: Does "1200 cycles" mean the battery can be used 1200 times?
- A8: "1200 charge-discharge cycles" means that after 1200 full charge-discharge cycles, the battery capacity remains above 80%. The battery can still be used after 1200 cycles, but capacity will gradually decline. This is normal for all rechargeable batteries. NOHON batteries degrade more slowly compared to similar products.
- Q9: How to prevent battery damage if the NOHON lithium battery is not used for a long time?
- A9: If you don't use the battery for an extended period, charge it once every 1-2 months to maintain battery activity. Long-term storage without charging may lead to full discharge, which can damage the battery. Store the battery in a dry, well-ventilated environment, away from high temperatures or humidity.
