How to use

Insert the AA NiMH cells into devices following the polarity markings (+/−) in the battery compartment. Before first use, charge the batteries with a compatible NiMH charger that supports AA cells and follow the charger manufacturer's instructions. Recharge the batteries when device performance decreases or according to the charger’s indicators. Do not mix these rechargeable cells with non-rechargeable batteries in the same device.

Recommendations

For optimal cycle life, store the batteries in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Use a charger designed for NiMH chemistry and avoid overcharging; follow the charger's guidelines for charge current and duration. For devices with low power draw or infrequent use, periodically recharge the cells to maintain capacity.
