6.8 Features of Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteriesLithium-Ion batteries have several features that make them more suitable for use in portableones thanother materials used, such as Nickel Hydride.Lithium-Ion batteries are better for the environment as they do not contain any regulated ma, such asmercury, cadmium, lead etc.You may be mistakenly lead to believe by the name that Lithium-Ion batteries contain LithiumIn fact theycontain no Lithium metal and are therefore safe to carry by air transport.A great advantage of Lithium-Ion batteries is their ability to be recharged for between 300times. Lithium-Ion batteries exhibit no “memory effect”, as is observed with repetitive shallow discharge aging of Ni-Cadbatteries6.8.1 Circuit diagram of Li-Ion batteryFigure 2: Circuit diagram of Li-Ion battery 600-06076.8.2 Charging Li-Ion batteriesThe following points should be born in mind for the charging of Li-Ion batteries:Li-Ion batteries require a constant charge voltage of 8.4V for all G600 battery chargers (duger EB-CR600and handsfree charger).Charging will be at 1.5CmA (where C is the nominal capacity of the battery). The charging cuill naturallydecrease to OA while the battery voltage remains constant.Issue1 Section6 MCUK980101C8Revision0 6 -8 Service ManualTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
