Setup
First Use
- Unpack: Carefully remove the batteries from their packaging.
- Initial Charge: Although pre-charged, it is recommended to fully charge the batteries before their first use to achieve optimal performance and extend their lifespan. Use a compatible NiMH battery charger.
- Insert: Insert the batteries into your device, ensuring correct polarity (+ and - terminals).
Operating Instructions
Charging
- Always use a charger specifically designed for NiMH rechargeable batteries.
- Do not mix different types of batteries (e.g., NiMH with alkaline) in the same charger or device.
- Follow the instructions provided with your battery charger for proper charging procedures and times.
- Avoid overcharging, as this can reduce battery life. Many modern chargers have automatic shut-off features.
Usage in Devices
- Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries into any device. Incorrect insertion can damage both the battery and the device.
- Replace all batteries in a device at the same time to ensure consistent performance and prevent damage.
- Remove batteries from devices that will not be used for an extended period to prevent potential leakage.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep battery terminals clean. Use a dry cloth to wipe off any dirt or corrosion.
- Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The provided hard plastic storage box is ideal for this purpose.
- Avoid Short Circuits: Do not store batteries loosely in a pocket or bag with metal objects like coins or keys, as this can cause a short circuit.
- Regular Charging: For optimal long-term performance, it is advisable to recharge batteries every 3-6 months even if not in use, due to their low self-discharge rate.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Battery not charging | Incorrect charger type; faulty charger; battery terminals are dirty; battery is fully discharged (deep discharge). | Ensure charger is compatible with NiMH batteries. Try a different charger. Clean battery terminals. Some chargers have a refresh function for deeply discharged batteries. |
| Short operating time | Battery not fully charged; old battery (reduced capacity); high power consumption device. | Ensure batteries are fully charged. Consider replacing older batteries. For high-drain devices, ensure batteries are rated for such use. |
| Device not working | Incorrect battery insertion; batteries are dead; device malfunction. | Check polarity (+/-). Recharge or replace batteries. Test the device with known working batteries. |
