Operating Instructions
Once installed and initially charged, your Kastar Ni-MH battery operates like the original battery in your device. For daily use:
- Always return your cordless phone handset to its charging base when not in use to maintain battery charge.
- Avoid completely draining the battery frequently, as this can reduce its overall lifespan.
- The battery is designed for up to 1200 charge/discharge cycles, providing extended use.
Maintenance
- Environmental Protection: These Ni-MH cells are eco-friendly, free from harmful substances like Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), and Lead (Pb). Dispose of batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
- Low Self-Discharge: Kastar batteries are designed to hold their charge longer than standard batteries due to an embedded seal structure. This means they retain power even when not in active use.
- Extended Lifespan: With proper care, the batteries are protected from degradation during charging and discharging, extending their lifespan up to 1200 cycles.
- Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is partially charged (around 50%) and stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures.
- Cleaning: Keep battery contacts clean and free of debris to ensure optimal connection.
