Entladen sind Batterien in der Regel dann, wenn das Gerät abschaltet und signalisiert „Batterie leer“ oder nach längerer Gebrauchsdauer der Batterien „nicht mehr einwandfrei funktioniert“. Um sicherzugehen, kleben Sie die Batteriepole z.B. mit einem Klebestreifen ab oder geben Sie die Batterien einzeln in einen Plastikbeutel.
