A high quality lithium-ion battery is used in your Tab-Ex
advantages in everyday use, such as a low weight and high capacity in a nevertheless compact
construction. In addition these batteries also exhibit practically no memory effect. However, the-
se batteries are susceptible to a natural aging process which impairs their functionality.
Modern batteries today have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which, when used daily,
corresponds to a service life of approximately two years. The ageing process increases rapidly
after this period, which means that the batteries are deemed technically defective after 500
charge cycles. Moreover, the battery cells could expand and cause irreparable damage to your
device in a worst case scenario. For this reason rechargeable batteries with lithium cells should
be replaced after two years at the latest or after reaching a battery capacity that is 50% of its
initial value.
Note:
The battery used in this unit poses a fire hazard and can cause chemical injuries if it is used
improperly. Neither the battery nor the battery cells should be opened or disassembled and
they should not be burned or exposed to temperatures exceeding 60 °C.
