Learn when and how to replace your VALO curing light battery, plus practical care tips to extend battery life and keep your light performing.
Quick Answer
Replace your VALO curing light battery when you notice shorter run times or longer charging cycles, and care for it by avoiding extreme temperatures and fully draining the battery.
Know When to Replace the Battery
Over time, all rechargeable batteries lose capacity. If your VALO curing light runs out of power mid-procedure more often, or if charging takes noticeably longer than it used to, the battery may be nearing the end of its useful life.
Keep a spare VALO rechargeable battery on hand so you can swap it out quickly and avoid interrupting patient care.
Care Tips to Extend Battery Life
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. High heat can accelerate battery degradation, so avoid leaving the light in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
Avoid fully draining the battery before recharging. Lithium-ion batteries perform best when you recharge them before they are completely empty.
If you won't use the light for several weeks, store the battery at about 50% charge rather than fully charged or fully depleted.
