19. Safety precautions for the integrated battery

Damaged devices and chargers should no longer be used and should be
sent to ecom instruments GmbH for inspection. We would like to draw your
attention here to the transport regulations for dangerous goods, which every
consignor is obligated to comply with for devices with integrated rechargeab-
le batteries or separate rechargeable batteries.
Note:
• Extreme temperatures can have an adverse effect on charging the battery
module.
• Do not throw the product into a fire.
• Dispose of the product in accordance with local regulations and do not
discard it along with normal household waste.
The product is equipped with a high quality lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
These batteries have numerous advantages in everyday use, such as a low
weight and high capacity in a nevertheless compact construction. Although
the battery cells have virtually no memory effect, they are still subjected to a
natural aging process that has an impact on their function. Modern batteries
today have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which, when used daily,
corresponds to a service life of approximately 2 years. The aging process
increases rapidly after this period, which means that the battery cells are
deemed technically defective after 500 charge cycles.
Moreover, the battery cells could expand and cause irreparable damage to
your product in a worst case scenario.
