Checking Voltage

To check battery voltage, use a meter or other measuring device that has a high input impedance (10 Mohm or higher).

Cleaning and Handling Lithium Batteries

Wear gloves or finger caps when handling batteries to keep them clean.

Use non-conductive cleaning solution to prevent deterioration of battery performance

Dry batteries at a temperature below 85 °C to prevent seal deterioration that may, in turn, result in leakage

Disposing of Batteries

The D400 lithium battery contains harmful chemicals.

The Lithium battery is recyclable. Dispose of battery according to local waste management regulations.

Battery Life

If the battery is disconnected, or if the D400 is never powered down, the life of the battery should exceed five years. The life of the battery will be severely shortened if the battery is left connected while the D400 is powered down for extended periods or stored.

For long-term storage:

Keep the equipment at temperatures and humidity below normal

Avoid shorting or loading while stored
