circuit module provided with battery packs is not to be used as a
substitute for a shut-off switch.
12. Do not place the battery in or near re, 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. Heating
the battery can damage the safety circuitry, which can cause
additional heating, rupture or ignition of the battery. Using the
battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance
and a shortened life expectancy.
13. Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure
containers or on induction cookware.
14. If you intend to store a battery for a period without use then store
battery at room temperature (19°C to 25°C), charged to about
30 – 50% of capacity. When storing for very long periods boost-
charge the battery once per year to prevent over discharge.
15. Always charge the battery in a temperature range of 0°C to 30°C
and discharge in a temperature range of 0°C to 75°C.
16. The battery pack and charger will be warm during charging, this
is normal.
17. Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within
the specied charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to
become hot, explode or ignite. The temperature range over which
the battery can be charged is 0°C to 30°C. Charging the battery
at temperatures outside this range may cause severe damage to
the battery or reduce battery life expectancy.
18. When the battery is worn out, insulate the terminals with
adhesive tape or similar materials before disposal.
19. Do not dispose of batteries in re, or with household waste.
Return exhausted batteries to your local collection or recycling
point.
Warning: If a small amount of electrolyte should leak from
the battery pack under extremes of temperature or after
heavy use, then wash off immediately from your skin and hands
using clean water. For eye contact, rinse thoroughly with clean
water and seek medical treatment immediately.
