RECHARGEABLE BATTERY TIPS

Follow these simple tips to get the most use out of your cordless electronic products’ rechargeable batteries:
  TIP 1
Follow the charging guidelines provided by the manufacturer. There are specific battery charging times recommended for each individual product prior to using it for the first time.
  TIP 2
Never return a fully-charged battery to the charger for an extra boost. This will actually shorten the life of the battery.
  TIP 3
Do not leave your rechargeable battery in the charger when not charging.
  TIP 4
Let a discharged battery cool to room temperature before recharging.
  TIP 5
Recharge batteries only when they are near to fully discharged.
  TIP 6
When they no longer hold a charge and it’s time to buy a replacement rechargeable battery, make sure to recycle your old one! To find a drop-off location nearest you, call toll free 1-877-2-RECYCLE or enter your zip code here to find a recycling location near you.
