4. Performance
Test procedure and its criteria shall be referred to as follows.
1C = 550mA
Full charge : 8.4V (0.5C) × 5h (25℃)
(1) Open Circuit Voltage
Test method : Within 1 hour after full charge, measure

open circuit voltage.
Criteria : More than 8.2V.
(2) Discharge Capacity
Test method : Within 1 hour after full charge, discharge
until final discharge voltage at 0.2C and measure the time.
Criteria : More than 300 minutes.
(3) Charge/Discharge cycle life
Test method : Charge 8.4V (0.5C) ~ 0.02C cut off (25℃).
Discharge 1C to 6V (25℃).
This charge and discharge cycles shall be repeated.
Criteria : More than 180 minutes.
(4) Appearance by visual shall be no defect and leakage.
5. Charge
(1) Standard charge must be carried out with 0.5C – 8.4V
(Constant current / constant voltage). Charging shall be
stopped when the time or current satisfy specified condition.
(2) Charge voltage must be below 8.46V considering the
charger’s tolerance. If the charger would be out of order,
when the voltage goes up 9V charging must be stopped.
(3) Charge current of charger must be below 1C.
(4) Equip with an extra charging control. If the battery voltage is

below 6V, extra charge shall be began with about 0.2C. After
it, if the battery goes up 6V within 10 minutes, normal charge
shall be began, or if the voltage was below 6V charging shall
be stopped.
(5) Equip with a full charge detection control, which detects fully
charged condition measuring time or current, stops charging.
(6) The initial ambient temperature for charging must be within
The range of 0 to 45℃.
(7) No reverse charging or connection.

6. Discharge
(1) Discharge current must be defined below 2C.
(2) Ambient temperature for discharging must be within the
range of -20 to 60℃.
(3) Final discharge voltage must be over 5.5V.
(4) Do not over-discharge such as the battery voltage becomes
below 5.5V/cell.
(5) Do not short-circuit.
7. Protection Circuit
GN Batteries & Electronics Inc. Page 5 of 6 This Technical specification is for reference only.
To make the battery safety more reliable under miss operation,
equip with a following protective circuit mechanic inside of the
battery pack.
(1) Protection for Over Charge
If the battery voltage comes to 8.56±3V while charging ,
protection for over charge shell be operated and stops
charging.
(2) Protection for Over Discharge
If the battery voltage comes to 6V±0.1V while discharging,
protection for over discharge shall be operated and stops
discharging. The consumed current while the protection
for over-discharge is operating shall be set below 1μA.
(3) Protection for Over Current
If the current comes over 3A while discharging, protection
for over-discharge shall be operated and stops discharging.
However the value-3A is possible to be changed depending
on the consumed current of used equipment.
(4) Electric Circuit
To prevent the discharge during storage, design so that the
consumed current of electric circuit inside of the battery
pack (protective circuit, fuel gauge….etc.) will be minimum
value.
8. Storage
For long-term storage, it is preferable to put batteries on a dried
place below 25℃ with about 50% charged condition.
