4. Setup and Installation

Before installing the battery, ensure that the device it will power is turned off and disconnected from any power source. Verify that the battery's dimensions (40mm×25mm×19mm) and voltage (4V) are compatible with your device.

1. Identify the battery compartment in your device.
2. Carefully insert the battery, ensuring correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). The battery features 7mm long electrodes for connection.
3. Secure the battery within the compartment if applicable.
4. Close the battery compartment.

It is recommended to fully charge the battery before its first use.

5. Charging Instructions

To charge your Sigma 4V 300 mAh battery:

• Use a compatible charger designed for 4V lead-acid batteries.
• Connect the charger to the battery, observing correct polarity.
• The approximate charging time is 2-3 hours.
• The charging voltage should be between 4-6 Volts. Do not exceed 6 Volts.
• Avoid leaving the battery on charge for extended periods after it is fully charged to prevent overcharging.

6. Operation and Usage

Once installed and charged, the battery is ready for use in your compatible device. The backup time provided by the battery will vary depending on the load (power consumption) of the device it is powering.

Compatible Applications:

• Mosquito Killer Bats
• Rechargeable Bulbs
• Torchlights
• DIY Projects
• Other electronic devices that use a DC 4-volt battery

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your battery:

• Keep Dry: Always ensure the battery is kept in a dry environment.
• Regular Charging: If the battery is not in use for an extended period, charge it periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) to prevent deep discharge, which can permanently damage lead-acid batteries.
• Clean Terminals: Keep the battery terminals clean and free from corrosion. Use a dry cloth to wipe them if necessary.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the battery to extreme heat or cold, as this can affect its performance and lifespan.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your battery, consider the following:

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charger is working correctly and is compatible with 4V lead-acid batteries.
  • Check all connections for proper contact and polarity.
  • Verify that the charging voltage is within the 4-6V range.
• Device Not Powering On:
  • Confirm the battery is fully charged.
  • Check that the battery is correctly installed with the right polarity.
  • Inspect the device for any internal issues or loose connections.
• Short Backup Time:
  • Ensure the battery is fully charged before use.
  • The backup time is dependent on the load of the device. High-power devices will drain the battery faster.
  • Battery capacity may degrade over time with repeated charge/discharge cycles.
