Pre – Use and Post – Use Checks

Before Each Dive

Before using your underwater tool, conduct a thorough visual inspection of the battery. Check for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks in the casing, loose connections, or corrosion on the terminals. Even a small crack in the battery casing can allow water to seep in, leading to short – circuits and battery failure. If you notice any damage, do not use the battery and contact CNS BATTERY for advice or replacement options. You can find replacement battery solutions on our solutions page.

Verify the charge level of the battery. Using a compatible battery charger or a device with a built – in battery – level indicator, ensure that the battery is fully charged or has sufficient charge for your intended use. Starting a dive with a low – charge battery can not only cut your operation short but also put additional stress on the battery, potentially reducing its lifespan.

After Each Dive

Immediately after the dive, rinse the underwater tool and its battery with fresh, clean water. This is crucial to remove any saltwater, sand, or debris that may have adhered to the battery during the dive. Saltwater is highly corrosive and can quickly damage the battery’s components if left on. Use a gentle stream of water to avoid forcing water into any openings or joints.

After rinsing, dry the battery thoroughly. Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe off any excess water. Pay special attention to the battery terminals and any small crevices where water may accumulate. Moisture left on the battery can cause corrosion and affect the electrical connections. If possible, let the battery air – dry in a well – ventilated area away from direct sunlight.

Proper Charging Practices

Use the Right Charger

Always use a charger that is specifically designed for your underwater tool battery. Using an incompatible charger can lead to over – charging, under – charging, or even damage to the battery. CNS BATTERY provides chargers that are tailored to the specific requirements of our underwater tool batteries. You can find the recommended chargers on our solutions page.

Over – charging can significantly reduce the battery’s lifespan. Most modern batteries are equipped with built – in over – charge protection, but it’s still important to monitor the charging process. Once the battery is fully charged, unplug it from the charger. If you’re using a charger without an automatic shut – off feature, set a timer to remind you to unplug the battery.

Optimal Charging Conditions

Charge the battery in a moderate – temperature environment. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can affect the charging efficiency and the overall health of the battery. The ideal charging temperature for most underwater tool batteries is between [optimal temperature range]. If the battery has been exposed to extreme temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature before charging.

Use a stable power source for charging. Fluctuations in the power supply can cause inconsistent charging and may damage the battery. If you’re using a portable power source, ensure that it is in good condition and can provide a steady voltage.

Storage Recommendations

Short – Term Storage

For short – term storage (up to a few weeks), store the battery at a partial charge, around 50 – 60%. This helps to prevent over – discharge and over – charging during storage. Before storing, make sure the battery is clean and dry.

Store the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. High humidity can cause corrosion, while heat can accelerate the degradation of the battery’s internal components. A storage area with a temperature of around [optimal storage temperature] and low humidity is ideal.

Long – Term Storage

For long – term storage (more than a few weeks), it’s important to recharge the battery at least once a month. This helps to maintain the battery’s chemical balance and prevent it from losing its charge capacity over time.

If possible, store the battery in its original packaging or use a protective case. This can prevent physical damage to the battery during storage. Make sure the battery is stored in an upright position to prevent any potential leakage.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Battery Performance Degradation

If you notice a significant decrease in the battery’s performance, such as shorter run – times or reduced power output, there could be several causes. It could be due to over – use, improper charging practices, or degradation of the battery’s internal components over time. Exposure to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals can also contribute to performance degradation.

First, review your charging and usage habits to ensure they are optimal. If the problem persists, contact CNS BATTERY’s technical support team at amy@cnsbattery.com. We can help you diagnose the issue and provide solutions, which may include battery replacement or specific maintenance instructions.

Battery Leakage

If you suspect battery leakage, immediately stop using the battery and the underwater tool. Battery leakage can be dangerous as the leaked chemicals can be corrosive and harmful. Wear protective gloves and safety goggles when handling a potentially leaking battery.

Carefully clean up any leaked chemicals using appropriate cleaning agents. Dispose of the leaking battery properly according to local environmental regulations. Do not attempt to repair a leaking battery. Contact CNS BATTERY for advice on safe disposal and replacement options.

Regular Maintenance and Professional Checks

Scheduled Maintenance

Establish a regular maintenance schedule for your underwater tool batteries. Depending on the frequency of use, we recommend conducting a more in – depth maintenance check every [X] dives or every [X] months. This can include a more detailed visual inspection, performance testing, and cleaning of the battery contacts.

Create a maintenance checklist to ensure that you cover all the necessary steps during each maintenance session. The checklist can include items such as visual inspection, charge – level check, terminal cleaning, and verification of the battery’s waterproof integrity.

Professional Servicing

If you’re unsure about the condition of your underwater tool battery, or if you notice any persistent issues, it’s advisable to seek professional servicing. CNS BATTERY offers professional battery servicing and maintenance. Our technicians are trained to handle underwater tool batteries and can perform in – depth inspections and repairs.

Professional servicing can help to identify and address potential issues before they become major problems. It can also extend the lifespan of your battery and ensure that your underwater tool operates at its best. You can schedule professional servicing by contacting amy@cnsbattery.com.
