5.2 Cell Replacement
The Micro-Fuel Cell is a sealed electrochemical transducer with no
electrolyte to change or electrodes to clean. When the cell reaches the end of
its useful life, it is replaced. The spent fuel cell should be discarded accord-
ing to local regulations. This section describes storage and handling of the
fuel cell, and when and how to replace it.
5.2.1 Storing and Handling Replacement Cells
To have a replacement cell available when it is needed, it is recom-
mended that one spare cell be purchased shortly before the end of the cell's
one year warranty period. (Check Specific Model Information in The front
matter of this manual for which class of cell you purchased.)
CAUTION: Do not stockpile cells. The warranty period starts
on the day of shipment.
The spare cell should be carefully stored in an area that is not subject to
large variations in ambient temperature (75 °F nominal) or to rough handling.
