About HS360S Battery

Q1: Why does this battery have a self-discharge protection feature, and how does it work?                            

A: The self-discharge protection feature is designed to extend the battery's overall lifespan. When the battery is fully charged and left unused for more than three days, it will automatically discharge to 70-75% of its capacity.

This proactive measure safeguards the battery from potential damage when it remains at full charge for an extended period.               

Q2: Some consumers have reported issues with the battery. Could the self-discharge protection feature be a contributing factor?                              
A: Yes, it's possible.

The self-discharge protection feature, while beneficial for the battery's health, might lead to concerns for users who are unaware of this functionality.

If the battery is left unused for more than three days after reaching a full charge, it intentionally discharges to 70-75% capacity. This might be mistaken for a decline in performance, but it enhances overall battery longevity.   

Q3: Are there any other potential issues with the battery that consumers should be aware of?          
                   
A: Certainly, maintaining optimal battery performance involves observing specific guidelines:

• Proper Charging Practices:
  
  Use the original or certified charger, follow the manufacturer's recommended current and voltage, avoid overcharging and deep discharging, periodically charge to prevent self-discharge, and be mindful of extreme temperature conditions.
  
  

• Temperature Impact on Batteries:
  
  Low temperatures slow down chemical reactions, reducing energy storage capacity.
  
  High temperatures accelerate internal reactions, decreasing lifespan, increasing self-discharge, slowing charge transfer, and posing safety risks.
  
  

• Optimal Storage Conditions:
  
  1. Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is not exposed to moisture, and temperatures remain below 60°C.
  
  2. Maintain a charge level between 20% and 80% to extend lifespan.
  
  3. Keep batteries out of reach of children or pets.
  
  4. Retain packaging for important information.
  
  

• Battery Safety Considerations:
  
  1. Regularly check the battery's condition, seeking professional help if damage or leakage is detected.
  2. Protect the battery from impacts. Avoid crushing or squeezing to prevent fire or explosion risks.
  3. For extended non-use, remove batteries to prevent potential leakage damage.
  4. Avoid disassembling or modifying the battery.
  5. Cease use if the battery emits an odor, generates heat, discolors, deforms, or appears abnormal. Remove it immediately if these occur during use or charging.
  6. Keep the battery dry; do not immerse it in water.
  7. Avoid soldering the battery terminals.
  8. Refrain from short-circuiting by connecting wires or metal objects to the positive(+) and negative(-) terminals.
  9. Failure to follow instructions may result in severe injury, irreparable battery damage, or fire, smoke, or explosion.
  10. Connect the toy only to equipment with the symbol Class II.
