3. Operating Instructions

This battery is designed to power your compatible device. Proper charging and discharge practices will maximize its lifespan and performance.

3.1 Charging the Battery

• Always use the original charger supplied with your Cefar, Bodymax, Myo, or Rehab device, or a compatible charger specified by the device manufacturer.
• Connect your device to the charger. The device's indicator lights will typically show the charging status.
• Allow the battery to charge fully. Ni-MH batteries do not suffer from memory effect, so partial charges are generally acceptable, but a full charge is recommended periodically.
• Do not leave the battery on charge indefinitely after it is full, although the battery has over-charge protection.

3.2 Discharging and Usage

• Use your device as intended. The battery will provide power until its charge is depleted.
• Avoid completely draining the battery to 0% charge frequently, as this can reduce its overall lifespan.
• If the device indicates low battery, recharge it as soon as convenient.

4. Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance and storage are crucial for extending the life of your battery.

• Temperature: Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
• Cleaning: Keep the battery contacts clean. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe away any dust or debris.
• Long-Term Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period (more than one month), charge it to approximately 50-70% capacity. Recharge it every 3-6 months to prevent deep discharge.
• Handling: Do not crush, puncture, or short-circuit the battery. Keep it away from fire and water.
