Important Compatibility Note:

• BATTERY CHEMISTRY: This battery uses nickel-cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable chemistry and provides a nominal voltage of 1.2V.
• BATTERY SIZE: Confirm that the original equipment requires a C-size rechargeable battery rather than a Sub-C, 1/2 C, D, or other cylindrical cell.
• DIMENSIONS: This battery measures 50.0mm (1.97") in length and 26.2mm (1.03") in diameter.
• TERMINAL CONFIGURATION: This battery features a raised positive button-top terminal and a flat negative contact. Confirm that this configuration matches the original battery.
• This button-top battery is intended for compatible C-size battery compartments. It is not a direct replacement for flat-top or factory-tabbed cells where those terminal configurations are required.
• VOLTAGE: A C-size NiCd rechargeable battery provides 1.2V nominal output, while a standard C alkaline battery provides 1.5V nominal output. These batteries are not automatically interchangeable.
• CAPACITY: This battery is rated at 3000mAh. A different-capacity replacement should only be used when compatible with the equipment and charging system.
• When multiple identical cells are connected in series, their voltages add together while the nominal amp-hour capacity remains 3000mAh.
• Confirm the original battery pack voltage, number of cells, wiring arrangement, terminal configuration, and charging requirements before replacing individual cells.
• Do not substitute NiMH, lithium-ion, LiFePO4, or other battery chemistries unless specifically approved by the equipment manufacturer.
• CHARGING: Use only a charger designed for nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries and suitable for the battery's capacity and configuration.
• Do not charge this battery with chargers intended exclusively for lithium-ion, LiFePO4, lead-acid, or other incompatible battery chemistries.
• For a 3000mAh battery, a 0.1C current corresponds to approximately 300mA. This is a general charging-rate reference, not a confirmed manufacturer charging specification.
• Use fast charging only when approved by the battery manufacturer and supported by the charging equipment.
• When assembling battery packs, use matched cells of the same chemistry, capacity, age, and similar state of charge.
• Battery pack assembly and repair should be performed by qualified technicians using appropriate connection methods and insulation.
• Do not solder directly to the bare battery casing or terminals unless the manufacturer specifically permits the procedure.
• Do not mix NiCd batteries with alkaline, NiMH, lithium, or other battery chemistries in the same device or battery pack.
• Actual battery capacity, operating time, and service life depend on discharge current, temperature, charging conditions, and battery age.
• Always observe positive (+) and negative (-) polarity during installation.
• Do not short-circuit, crush, puncture, disassemble, overheat, or expose the battery to fire.
• Do not use batteries that are leaking, damaged, or showing signs of excessive heat.
• Keep batteries away from children and pets.
• Nickel-cadmium batteries contain cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, and require proper recycling and disposal.
• Store unused batteries in a cool, dry location away from excessive heat and conductive metal objects.
• Recycle spent NiCd batteries through an approved rechargeable battery recycling program. Do not dispose of them in household trash.
