Charging the Battery

Before you use the device for the first time, fully charge the integrated battery using main plug connector cable supplied. See Starter Cable for Main Plug Connector.

Lithium-Polymer batteries have a limited storage time and lifetime.
During storage, the charge level must be kept in certain limits.
The limited lifetime reduces the full charge capacity of the battery after 500 charging cycles to 80% of the rated capacity.

Note

• The integrated battery can only be charged in the limited battery temperature¹ range of 0 °C ...​ +45 °C / +32 °F ...​ +113 °F.
• Battery operation of the device is only possible in a limited battery temperature¹ range of -20 °C ...​ +60 °C / -4 °F ...​ +140 °F

¹ Due to self-heating of the device, the battery temperature is approx. 15°C higher than the ambient temperature, depending on device TYPE (see Device Elements) and device usage (see Intended Use).

The firmware/software implementation for the battery related device variables is not specified yet.
