Setup

1. Initial Charge: Your GP Recyko AA NiMH batteries are pre-charged and ready for immediate use. For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to fully charge them before the first use, and after each subsequent discharge.
2. Battery Insertion: Ensure correct polarity (+ and -) when inserting batteries into your device. Incorrect insertion can damage both the battery and the device. Refer to your device's instruction manual for specific battery compartment details.

Operating Instructions

• Device Compatibility: These batteries are suitable for a wide range of electronic devices that require AA batteries, such as cameras, remote controls, toys, and portable audio players. Always refer to your device's manual for specific battery requirements and compatibility.
• Charging Process: To recharge, use a compatible NiMH battery charger. Follow the charger's instructions for safe and effective charging. Avoid mixing different types or brands of batteries in the same charger or device.
• Discharge: For best results, allow batteries to fully discharge before recharging, especially during the initial cycles, to help maintain battery health.

Maintenance

• Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing fully discharged batteries for extended periods, as this can reduce their lifespan.
• Cleaning: Keep battery terminals clean. If necessary, gently wipe them with a dry cloth to ensure good electrical contact.
• Disposal: Do not dispose of batteries in household waste. Recycle them at designated collection points according to local regulations.

Troubleshooting

• Batteries Not Holding Charge: Ensure your charger is functioning correctly and that the batteries are properly seated. Over time, all rechargeable batteries experience a decrease in capacity; if performance significantly degrades, replacement may be necessary.
• Device Not Powering On: Check battery insertion for correct polarity, ensure batteries are fully charged, and verify the device itself is operational with other known-good batteries.
• Overheating During Charge: If batteries become excessively hot during charging, immediately remove them from the charger and discontinue use. This may indicate a faulty battery or charger.
