Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Kratax batteries:

• Store batteries in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• The low self-discharge rate (approximately 0.03% per month) means they retain charge well during storage.
• Regularly clean the battery contacts and charger terminals with a dry cloth to ensure good connection.
• Avoid fully depleting batteries before recharging, if possible, to maximize cycle life.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Battery not charging:
  • Ensure the USB cable and power source are functioning correctly.
  • Check that batteries are inserted with correct polarity.
  • Clean battery contacts and charger terminals.
  • If the charger LED shows an error (e.g., incorrect battery type), remove and reinsert the battery or try a different slot.
• Device not powering on or shutting off prematurely:
  • Ensure batteries are fully charged.
  • Verify that the device is compatible with 1.5V constant voltage batteries.
  • For devices using multiple batteries, ensure all batteries are charged and functioning correctly. Some devices may not accurately report battery levels for constant voltage lithium batteries, leading to sudden power loss.
• One battery discharging faster in a multi-battery device:
  • This can sometimes occur due to slight variations in battery capacity or device power draw. Try rotating batteries or ensuring they are charged together.
  • If the issue persists, one battery might be faulty.
