Important Information on Cameron Sino Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries
Provided by Canadianbatteries.com
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries from Cameron Sino Technologies have a limited lifespan and will gradually lose their ability to hold a charge. This natural process, known as aging, is irreversible. As the battery ages, its runtime—the amount of time it can power a device—will steadily decrease.
These batteries also self-discharge slowly when not in use or while in storage. To maintain performance, check the battery’s charge level regularly. Your device’s user manual should provide instructions for checking battery status and charging procedures. For the latest manuals, visit your product manufacturer’s website.
Important: Always use batteries recommended by Canadianbatteries.com for safe and reliable performance.
Battery Maintenance Guidelines
- Record the runtime of a new, fully charged battery for future comparison.
- Regularly check the charge level of your battery.
- Monitor batteries nearing the end of their useful life.
- Replace the battery if:
- The runtime drops below 80% of the original runtime.
- The battery takes significantly longer to charge.
- If storing for a long time, follow the storage instructions below. Do not use or recharge a battery that has become fully discharged during storage—replace it instead.
Charging Instructions
Follow the product-specific charging guidelines in your user manual. For dual battery setups, test one battery and slot at a time—one defective battery may prevent the other from charging.
Storage Tips
- If your battery is brand new, fully charge it as soon as you receive it. Due to transport regulations, it will only be charged to a maximum of 20% on arrival.
- A battery left unused for extended periods may lose the ability to accept a charge, which will void the warranty as it is considered neglect.
- Charge or discharge the battery to about 50% before storing.
- Recharge the battery to 50% at least once every three to four months.
- Store the battery separately from the device.
- Ideal storage temperature: 5°C to 20°C (41°F to 68°F).
Note: Batteries self-discharge in storage. High temperatures (above 20°C/68°F) can reduce battery life.
Handling Precautions
- Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery.
- Do not short circuit the terminals.
- Never dispose of batteries in fire or water.
- Do not expose batteries to temperatures over 60°C (140°F).
- Keep batteries away from children.
- Avoid shock, impact, or vibration.
- Do not use damaged batteries.
- If fluids are leaking, do not touch them. Follow safe disposal instructions.
- In case of eye contact with fluid, flush eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek medical help.
Transportation
- Follow local, national, and international rules when transporting Lithium-Ion batteries.
- Transport of damaged or recalled batteries may be restricted or prohibited.
Disposal and Recycling
- Dispose of Lithium-Ion batteries according to your local laws and recycling regulations.
- In the U.S. and Canada, visit www.rbrc.org for recycling information.
- Do not discard batteries in household trash.
- Place only discharged batteries in battery collection containers.
- Cover terminals with tape to prevent short circuits during storage or transport.
