iv
• Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an instrument, or step
on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke, rupture, and/or
burst into flame. If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge
at an abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, the
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. In
some cases, an unexpected large amount of current may flow upon discharging.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack does not
smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment, do not force it; check the
polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will
be reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!
If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes with
fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital
immediately. If left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.
• Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time!
If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the regulated time has
passed, stop it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
• Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure container!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire!
If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor), immediately remove it
from flammable areas. Electrolyte leaking from battery can easily catch on fire and
may cause the battery to generate smoke or burst into flame.
• Do not use an abnormal battery!
If the battery pack emits a bad odour, appears to have different coloring, is deformed,
or seems abnormal for any other reason, remove it from the charger or operating
equipment and do not use it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into flame.
