reduce overall service life. Always select the proper size battery
for your application
7. Discharging the battery for diagnostic purposes should only be
performed on an occasional basis (once every 6-8 weeks at most).
Unnecessary discharging only detracts from overall life.
8. Periodic cleaning of both the charger terminals and battery termi-
nals will ensure continued reliable operation. Clean the terminals
occasionally with a pencil eraser or lightly scrape the surface with a
blunt instrument to help reduce this possibility.

®
90 battery fails to deliver acceptable perfor-
mance, it must be returned to the Anton/Bauer. No other facility is
qualified and equipped to service the InterActive DIONIC
®
90 batteries
and calibrate the electronic components and sensors. Any attempt by
the user or any other unauthorized persons to service this battery will
surely result in improper calibration of the electronic components
re-
sulting in severe battery damage and/or safety hazards, including
potential personal injury and/or damage to property. Any such attempt
will void any/all warranties.
1. NEVER attempt to service this battery. If there is a problem, send
this battery only to Anton/Bauer for evaluation.
2. NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THIS BATTERY. The electronic cir-
cuits inside the battery can be damaged causing malfunction and/
or potential hazard to person and property.
3. NEVER attempt to replace the cells in this battery – it cannot be

Bauer Customer Support Group.
WARNING
1. Do not expose this battery to high temperatures (above
50°C/120°F). This includes storage in direct sunlight , in cars
in hot weather, or in close proximity to heating devices. This
may cause electrolyte leakage, impaired performance and
shortening of battery service life.
2. When not using the battery for prolonged periods, the
DIONIC
®
90 battery should be charged prior to storage and
maintenance charged every six months of non use.
3. ALL LITHIUM ION BATTERIES have a finite life. If the battery
exhibits noticeably shortened run time the battery should
be replaced immediately. Shortened runtime is indicative of
at least one cell, which has reached end of life. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES attempt to “recondition” this battery by
repeated charging and discharging.
4. This battery contains specialized electronic circuits, which
are designed to protect the lithium ion cells from overcharge,
overdischarge and overcurrent. Redundant protection devices
are designed to operate if the battery voltage is abnormally
high or low and if the temperature of the battery exceeds
operating specifications. These electronic devices can be
damaged if the battery is subject to abuse or damage. Do
not use a battery that has been subjected to excessive
mechanical shock or water damage.
5. Do not drop, puncture or crush this battery. Do not use the
battery if the case is damaged or broken. Do not open or
attempt to service this battery if damaged.
