Battery Tips

WARNING !

Always use only approved batteries and chargers with your Jetpack. The warranty does not cover damage caused by non-approved batteries and/or chargers.

• Do not use sharp objects or use excessive force to remove the battery or to access the battery well, this may damage the Jetpack and the battery.

• The battery discharges more rapidly as additional devices access your Jetpack.

• Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features, and accessories you use.

• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.

• When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.

• When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place.

• Never expose batteries to temperatures below -20°C (4°F) or above 60°C (140°F).

• Never leave the Jetpack in an unattended vehicle where it can get too hot or too cold.

• Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.

• It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging times. If you notice a change in your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.

IMPORTANT Whenever you remove or insert the battery, ensure your Jetpack is not connected to any device or power source. Never use tools, knives, keys, pens or any type of object to force the door open or to remove the battery. Using any of these types of objects could result in puncturing the battery.
