BATTERY STORAGE AND HANDLING
WARNING:
Failure to read, understand, and
follow these instructions may result in over-
heating, chemical leakage, smoke emission,
fire, or other potentially harmful results.
Always follow proper battery handling and storage practices. Im-
proper handling and/or failure to abide by proper storage instruc-
tions may cause permanent damage to batteries, or degrade charge
capacity. Improper handling practices or failure to comply with in-
structions may also put you at risk.
LONG TERM STORAGE AND HANDLING
Lithium-Ion batteries, like the RED Li Battery 7.2V, REDVOLT ® , RED-
VOLT XL, and RED BRICK ® , self-discharge over time. When storing
for long periods of time, store batteries separately from the camera
or charger and remember to charge batteries to a capacity level of
50% to 80%. If batteries will be stored for long periods of time, RED
recommends that you check the charge level at least once every
six (6) months, and recharge batteries to a capacity level of 50%
to 80%.
When not in use, remove the battery from the camera or charger
and store the battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid non-insulated stor-
age areas with fluctuating temperatures, extreme hot temperatures
(such as inside a hot car), corrosive gas, and direct sunlight. The
optimal storage temperature for batteries is between -20°C to 20°C
(-4°F to 68°F).
BATTERY CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
WARNING: Batteries stored for a prolonged
period of time at less than 50% charge level
may permanently lose the ability to hold a
charge.
WARNING: DO NOT use the battery for pur-
poses other than those specified.
WARNING: If recharging operation fails to
complete even after the specified recharging
time has elapsed, immediately stop further re-
charging.
Store batteries out of the reach of children.
DO NOT store batteries in a fully charged or discharged state
for extended periods of time.
DO NOT store batteries in a camera, camera module, or char-
ger for extended periods of time.
DO NOT store batteries in extreme hot or cold temperatures.
DO NOT expose batteries to fire or excessive heat.
DO NOT store batteries in direct sunlight.
DO NOT store, use, or recharge batteries near a heat source
such as a fire or a heater.
DO NOT use third-party chargers with your RED batteries.
DO NOT disassemble or modify batteries.
DO NOT overcharge batteries. Overcharging may increase in-
ternal temperature beyond the recommended limits and cause
permanent damage.
DO NOT connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals to
a metal object such as a wire.
DO NOT allow batteries to get wet.
DO NOT transport or store batteries together with metal ob-
jects such as jewelry, hairpins, etc. as they may generate heat
if they come into contact with the battery.
DO NOT pierce batteries with pointed or other sharp objects.
DO NOT step on, throw, or strike batteries with a hammer.
DO NOT use batteries that appear to be deformed or damaged.
DO NOT put batteries into pressurized containers or micro-
wave ovens.
DO NOT use or subject batteries to intense sunlight or hot
temperatures such as a vehicle on a hot day.
Battery incorporates built-in safety devices. DO NOT use it in a
location where static electricity may be present.
DO NOT exceed the recharging temperature range of 0˚C to
40˚C (32˚F to 104˚F).
Only use RED chargers to recharge RED batteries.
If a battery leaks or gives off a bad odor, discontinue use im-
mediately.
If a battery gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes discol-
ored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use,
recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the equip-
ment or battery charger and discontinue use.
If electrolyte from batteries comes into contact with skin or
clothing, immediately wash the area with running water. Failure
to do this may result in skin inflammation.
If electrolyte reaches the eyes, DO NOT rub them. Instead,
rinse the eyes with clean running water and immediately seek
medical attention. Failure to do this may result in eye injury.
If you find discoloration, a bad odor due to leakage, overheat-
ing and/or other irregularities when using a battery for the first
time, contact your Bomb Squad representative immediately.

SHIPPING DISCLAIMER
Unless you have been certified to ship dangerous goods, you must
work with a Dangerous Goods, Class 9-certified shipper to assist
you with a shipment that includes a RED BRICK (or other regulated
lithium ion batteries). Please note that applicable laws prohibit the
shipping of batteries that are physically damaged. We urge you to
look into the formal rules and regulations of shipping Class 9 Dan-
gerous Goods prior to preparing your shipment. For more informa-
tion on these regulations, please visit www.iata.org and www.dot.
