4. Maintenance and Care

4.1 Battery Storage

Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store batteries with a partial charge (around 50%) to maintain optimal performance and lifespan.

4.2 Cleaning

Use a dry, soft cloth to gently clean the battery and charger contacts. Do not use liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the components.

4.3 Safety Precautions

• Do not disassemble the battery or charger. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Avoid exposing the battery or charger to water, moisture, or high humidity.
• Do not incinerate or expose batteries to fire.
• Keep out of reach of children.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Battery Not Charging

• Ensure the charger is properly plugged into a functional power source (wall outlet or car adapter) and its indicator light is illuminated.
• Verify that the battery is correctly inserted into the charger with all contacts aligned and making firm connection.
• Try using a different power outlet or charging method (e.g., switch from AC to car adapter, or vice versa) to rule out a power source issue.

5.2 Charger Indicator Light Not Working

• Confirm the charger is receiving power by checking its connection to the power source.
• If the light remains off, try a different power outlet or charging method.
