When inserting the battery, ensure the pronged positive end makes a firm and stable connection with the device's terminal. Avoid excessive force or bending of the prongs, as this can lead to a poor connection and prevent the device from powering on. If you experience connectivity issues, gently inspect the prongs for proper shape and contact.

5. Maintenance & Storage
- Clean Contacts: Periodically clean the battery contacts and the device's terminals with a dry cloth or cotton swab to ensure optimal conductivity.
- Proper Storage: Store unused batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them in their original packaging or a non-conductive container to prevent short-circuiting.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the battery to very high or very low temperatures, as this can affect performance and lifespan.
- Remove for Long Storage: If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and damage to the device.
6. Troubleshooting
Device Not Powering On:
- Check Installation: Ensure the battery is inserted with correct polarity (+/-) and is fully seated in the compartment.
- Inspect Contacts: Verify that the battery's prongs and the device's terminals are clean and making proper contact. If the prongs appear spread or bent, carefully and gently reshape them to ensure a secure connection.
- Battery Condition: If the battery has been in use for a long time or stored improperly, it may be depleted. Replace it with a new Banshee 532 Battery.
- Device Malfunction: If the issue persists after checking the battery and contacts, the problem may lie with the device itself. Consult your device's manual or a qualified technician.
