Battery Usage

• Monitor the battery level indicator on your printer to avoid unexpected power loss during operation.
• For optimal battery life, avoid completely draining the battery frequently.

Maintenance

• Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50-60% capacity and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Recharge every 3-6 months to prevent deep discharge.
• Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the battery terminals if necessary. Do not use liquid cleaners.
