Charging & Usage Tips

Charge before first use: Fully charge all new batteries before putting them in service.
Use approved chargers: Only use brand-specified chargers to avoid damage.
Charge regularly: Partial charge is better than full discharge. Keep above 25%.
Calibrate: Every ~30 cycles, allow full discharge to recalibrate.
Store at moderate temperature: Around 68 °F (20 °C) is ideal.
Remove for long-term storage: If unused for weeks, store at ~50% charge.
Inspect regularly: Check for swelling, leaks, or damage before use.

What to Avoid

Don’t expose to extreme heat or cold: Both shorten battery life.
Don’t leave on charger indefinitely: Disconnect after a full charge.
Don’t deep discharge: Avoid running batteries to 0% except to calibrate.
Don’t use damaged batteries: Recycle swollen or leaking packs.
Don’t mix old and new batteries in multi-pack setups: Prevent imbalance and overheating.

Avoid aftermarket batteries: Genuine Trimble batteries deliver better performance and safety.
Keep firmware updated: Some devices optimize charging through firmware.
