Lithium-ion Battery Safety

Your hoop is powered by lithium-ion (li-ion)batteries, which need special care and proper storage. Please read & follow all battery usage, charging, care, & warning tips to maintain the life of your battery, as well as for your own & others’ safety and property.

Hoop batteries are consumable & will need be replaced at some point, especially if they are left uncharged for extended periods of time, similar to batteries in a smartphone. With proper care the internal batteries should keep an acceptable charge for years.

Environmental factors from regular usage and manufacturing defects are out of our control and we cannot be held liable for any issues resulting from battery use, charging, handling, or storage.

Li-ion Battery Safety & Care

• Use of your li-ion battery powered hoop is done at your own risk.
• Damaged or ruptured batteries can start a fire or cause personal injury.
• Using the hoop and charging the batteries in your hoop should always done under adult supervision.

Battery Safety and Battery Care go hand in hand – In addition to keeping your battery in good condition to help maximize battery life and glow time, follow all tips and warnings to avoid any safety issues that may occur from use of this specialized battery cell.

About Lithium-ion Batteries
Hoop batteries are specialty batteries with a high-power capacity – Use at your own risk. Lithium-ion batteries have (x3) three times the power of normal store-bought batteries. That’s how they have enough power to light up your hoop!

Lithium-ion Battery Care

• Do not allow your battery to sit without getting charged for extended periods of time.
• A battery that has sat without getting charged for a long time will lose its capacity.
• It’s not uncommon for them to last only a few months or after only a few uses is left uncharged frequently.
• Keep your batteries charged in between hooping sessions. Ideal long term battery storage is between 35-65% charge.
• Always store your batteries in their case when not in use or charging.
  Avoid throwing or dropping batteries to keep the battery’s plastic wrapping intact. Avoid hooping with the battery in the hoop in the off position.

Remote Control Response & Battery Run-time

If your remote control isn’t as responsive as you think it should be, try switching in a new battery, especially before performances.

Please read & follow all battery usage, charging, care, & warning tips in this guide, on the carrying case and on the battery to maintain the life of your battery, as well as for your own & others' safety and property.

These instructions apply to hoops with removable batteries, as charging, insertion & transport can affect the battery condition.

These batteries cannot be found in local stores and need special care and proper storage. Normal store bought batteries (AAA / alkaline batteries) do not have enough power and will not turn on your hoop.

Lithium-ion Battery Charging

Charging Warnings

• NEVER LEAVE CHARGING BATTERIES UNATTENDED. ONLY CHARGE WITH ADULT SUPERVISION.
• Do not store the battery in the charger after charging is completed.
• Do not use the charger in a damp or wet environment, or on flammable surfaces, like carpet, furniture, or wood surfaces.
• Do not use any other battery charger than the one that came with your hoop.
• Chargers may become warm while charging. Use only in safe, designated spots, firmly plugged into a proper electrical outlet.

Charging Instructions

• It's not uncommon for li-ion rechargeable batteries to last only a few months or after only a few uses is left uncharged frequently.
• Ideal long term battery storage is between 35-65% charge.

Lithium-ion Battery Storage, Transport and Recycling Info:

• Lithium-ion batteries should be stored in the provided plastic battery case when not in use, being stored, or being transported.
• Do not ship damaged lithium-ion batteries through the mail.
• Do not ship any lithium-ion batteries through the mail without some kind of secure encasement.
• Do not dispose of damaged lithium-ion batteries into your trash can.
• Dispose of damaged lithium-ion batteries by taking them to your local hardware store, like Lowes, Home Depot, or to a Best Buy where they can recycled for free.
• Until damaged Lithium-ion batteries are ready to be dropped off for recycling, it’s best to keep the damaged batteries in the provided battery case, not stored in a hot car.

Battery Longevity

Batteries are consumable & will need be replaced at some point, especially if they are left uncharged for extended periods of time, similar to batteries in a smartphone. 

Environmental factors from regular usage and manufacturing defects are out of our control and we cannot be held liable for any issues resulting from battery use, charging, handling, or storage. 

Remote Control Battery & Responsiveness

• If your hoop's remote control isn't as responsive as you think it should be, try switching in a new battery, especially before performances. 
• The 7-key remote has little lights behind the buttons that turn on when you press the button down. If the lights are dim or do not turn on when the button is pressed this is a good sign that the battery needs to be replaced.
• The CR-2025 battery used for the remote can be found in most gas stations, hardware stores, and grocery stores.
• These round batteries are often referred to as coin-cell batteries or watch batteries. These and similarly small sized batteries are also used for hearing aids and other small devices.
