HECHT 005040B BATTERY

Li-ion battery 40V 4AhLi-ion battery management: The Hecht product range is powered by modern Li-ion batteries, which have numerous advantages and ensure long-term reliable operation when using our machines. Although Li-ion batteries are equipped with built-in electronics to protect against overcharging or undercharging, even the best electronics cannot protect the battery if it is used incorrectly. ; The advantage of these batteries is their high energy density, meaning that this technology allows you to produce a small and lightweight battery with a relatively high capacity compared to older types of batteries.; Another unbeatable advantage is the very low self-discharge (below 5%), which significantly increases the battery life. ; Another advantage of these batteries is that they do not have the so-called memory effect. Therefore, it is not necessary to fully charge the battery before use. ; These advantages also have certain disadvantages, which can be prevented to a certain extent with proper use. The main disadvantage of batteries is aging. Over time, the battery loses its capacity, regardless of whether it has been used or not. This aging cannot be avoided, but it can be minimized. One important thing is that it should not be completely discharged. ; In the off-season, for lawn mowers or other seasonal products, if it is not used for a long time, it is worth removing the battery from the machine and storing it at a 40-50% charge level. ; Never store the battery for a long time in a completely discharged state because there is a risk that it will no longer take a charge. It is advisable to store it in a cool, but frost-free place. ; Never try to charge the battery with any other type of charger, except the one supplied with Hecht products. Battery chargers from other manufacturers can not only cause damage but also cause fire.; Li-ion batteries are temperature sensitive, long-term use of the wrong battery charger can heat up the battery and therefore significantly shorten its lifespan. A properly used Hecht Li-ion battery has a lifespan of approx. 800-1200 charge cycles, which can mean several years of reliable use. However, if the user keeps it completely discharged in an unheated, freezing garage or regularly exposes it to direct sunlight, the lifespan of the battery will be significantly reduced.
