WHERE TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT BATTERIES

The RaceVision2 uses long lasting Lithium Ion batteries that are custom made. If you need to purchase replacement batteries for your

RaceVision2 computer contact B&G. Do not substitute any other batteries. Substituting batteries may result in a void warranty.

HOW TO STORE BATTERIES WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN USE

The following storage tips will help you optimise the capacity and performance of your batteries.

•

If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it be removed from the computer for storage.

•

Store batteries in a cool, dry place.

•

Do not leave batteries in direct sunlight during the summer months or any other unusually hot location.

•

Do not expose battery terminals to metal objects or moisture, which may short-circuit your battery.

•

For long-term storage, store batteries below 50% state of charge because the deterioration of battery capacity is slower at lower state of charge. However, do not store batteries in a fully discharged state.
