NiMH Battery information

The above discharge times are approximate and are dependent on battery condition, the temperature of the environment, the state of charge before use, etc.

Important information about NiMH batteries and Dell Inspiron 1000 AC Adapter that come with the Silva-headlights:

All NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries lose their charge even when they are not used regularly or not loaded. If the Dell Inspiron 1525 battery will not charge fully before use. Never charge the battery for more than 6 months without a store. For longer storage without charging can lead to permanent damage (reversal of cells) kommen.Um the maximum performance of NiMH batteries is recommended to achieve the battery before first use 3 or more times to load and unload. Because of this self-discharge procedure is also recommended if the Dell Inspiron 1520 battery is not used for longer than 3-4 months.
It is possible that in the new Quick aufscheint Dell Inspiron Mini 10 AC Adapter green light, although the battery is not charged. This is the case when the battery is discharged, the cells that give less than 4.0 volts. In this case several times in unloaded and start charging again.
The battery should be charged with the Dell Inspiron 6400 AC Adapter. This ensures the maximum charge unsuitable Toshiba Satellite A300 Charger may damage the battery!
Charge according to the manufacturer's recommendation. Do not overload! A battery is fully charged then when it is warm.
You need the battery is not discharged before charging.
If the battery has been used only briefly, and you want to be sure to have the maximum charge, charge the battery. When the battery gets warm (after about 3-4 hours) the cells are full and the store must be stopped!
Unload a NiMH battery to complete! This can destroy the battery!
A fully charged battery has a voltage less than 1.20V per cell.
If a battery quickly loses the capacity is likely to cause a defective cell.
Replace the Dell Inspiron 1545 battery cells are not new ones. The worst results in the capacity of the battery cell. The battery capacity is never higher than the worst cell.
Batteries should not be connected to the lamp to prevent short circuits and accidental discharges during storage.
Check the wires in the plugs regularly. The pins are firmly seated in the connector.
Do not pull on the wires when you pull the plug. Pull the plug.
Check regularly that have the contact pins. If they are loose, which has consequences for the loading / unloading.
Lift the battery on the plug. The pins may slip out of the plug.
Check regularly that the wires are fine. Note the correct polarity.
Check the plastic coating of the cells periodically for damage!
Even if the voltage of the NiMH battery is low, there is a short circuit burns. Therefore, check the battery regularly, especially if it was used in competition. The battery has a built-in poly-switch that interrupts the flow of current in short circuit. Note that the battery can be destroyed, even if this safety feature protects the Dell Vostro 1520 battery against incineration.

If you follow these instructions, you will be able to use the battery for many years and there will be no damage from short circuits.
