Safety Precautions for Lithium-ion Battery Packs:
WHEN USING THE BATTERY
!WARNING!
1) Lithium-ion and lithium polymer cells and battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to abuse conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings listed below:
- Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.
- Do not install the battery backwards so the polarity is reversed.
- Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery to each other with any metal object (such as wire).
- Do not carry or store battery together with necklaces, hairpins or other metal objects.
- Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
- Do not solder directly onto the battery.
- Do not expose battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
2) Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.
- The protection circuit module provided with battery packs is not to be used as a substitute for a shut-off switch.
3) Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
!CAUTION!
1)If the device is to be used by small children, the caregiver should explain the contents of the user's manual to the children. The caregiver should provide adequate supervision to insure that the device is being used as explained in the user's manual.
2) When the battery is worn out, insulate the terminals with adhesive tape or similar tapes before disposal.
3) Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers, or an induction cookware.
4) Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way. Contact Ultralife if any of these problems are observed.
5)In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one's eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
WHILE CHARGING
!WARNING!
1) Be sure to follow the warnings listed below while charging the battery. Failure to do so may cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.
- When charging the battery, either use a specified battery charger or otherwise ensure the battery charging conditions specified by Ultralife are met.
- Do not attach the battery to a power supply plug or directly to a car's cigarette lighter.
- Do not place the battery in or near fire, or in direct sunlight. Heating the battery can damage the safety circuitry, which can cause additional heating, rupture or ignition of the battery.
2) Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite.
!CAUTION!
The temperature range over which the battery can be charged is 0°C to 45°C. Charging the battery at temperatures outside this range may cause severe damage to the battery or reduce battery life expectancy.
WHILE DISCHARGING
!WARNING!
Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the specified device. When the battery is used in devices other than the specified device, it may damage the battery or reduce its life expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.
!CAUTION!
The temperature range over which the battery can be discharged is -20°C to 60°C. Use of the battery outside this temperature range may damage performance of the battery or may reduce its life expectancy.
