Operating Instructions
These batteries are specifically designed for use with the Brinkmann Legend 860-0350-0 Flashlight. Once installed, operate your flashlight according to its original manufacturer's instructions.
- Charging: As these are rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, they require a compatible Ni-MH battery charger. Do not use chargers designed for other battery chemistries (e.g., Lithium-ion, Alkaline) as this can cause damage or safety hazards.
- Initial Charge: For optimal performance and battery life, it is recommended to fully charge the batteries before their first use.
- Discharge Cycle: Ni-MH batteries benefit from occasional full discharge cycles to maintain their capacity.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your batteries:
- Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing them in metal containers or with other metal objects to prevent short circuits.
- Cleaning: Keep battery terminals clean. Use a dry, clean cloth to gently wipe off any dirt or corrosion that may accumulate on the battery contacts.
- Disposal: When batteries reach the end of their useful life, dispose of them at an authorized battery recycling center. Do not dispose of them in household waste or incinerate, as they contain materials that can be harmful to the environment.
- Avoid Short Circuits: Do not short-circuit the battery terminals by connecting them directly with metal objects.
