Modified on Mon, 28 Apr at 4:25 PM
In order to determine if your battery is rechargeable, refer to the image below.
The battery inside the green box on the far left is the only supported rechargeable battery.
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES, in the red box.
This is extremely dangerous and strictly prohibited.
Consequences of charging a non-rechargeable battery include:
- Leakage of toxic chemicals
The battery casing can rupture, releasing hazardous substances that can cause chemical burns, respiratory issues, and environmental harm.
- Overheating and explosion: Non-rechargeable batteries are not built to withstand charging currents. They may overheat rapidly, catch fire, or explode without warning, causing severe injury or property damage.
- Permanent device damage: Charging an inappropriate battery can destroy the charger and any connected devices, leading to costly repairs or complete loss.
- Fire hazard: The heat and chemical reactions may ignite surrounding materials, resulting in a major fire and potential destruction of property.
- Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury, death, and/or significant property damage.
DO NOT PROCEED. Only use properly marked rechargeable batteries (e.g., NiMH, Li-ion) with a charger specifically intended for the battery type. Always verify battery compatibility before connecting to any charger.IMPORTANT: If you have non-rechargeable batteries, you can upgrade to a rechargeable battery when your old battery no longer works, or if you simply want to upgrade.
(Green box: Rechargeable battery. Orange box: Discontinued rechargeable battery. Red box: Discontinued, non-rechargeable battery)
The rechargeable battery on the left will only come about 30% charged, whether sold with the trap or ordered separately - This precaution follows global IATA safety regulations.
It's up to the user to fully charge the battery, and making sure that the charging is done correctly.
We advise between 8-12 hours, but never charge longer than 12 hours.
Once fully charged, the battery can last up to 1½ years under normal usage conditions.
When charging:
Use the battery adapter cable provided by Aurocon.
Charge the battery with a minimum output of 1.5A and 7.5W.
(Preferably 2A or more, i.e., 10W or higher, for best results.)Use only approved CE marked charging equipment
