■ Battery Safety Precautions
Make sure to review the user manual carefully prior to product use.
Neglecting to heed the following instructions can result in battery overheating, combustion,
explosion, damage and/or decline in performance and product life.
Danger
1. Do not allow water, seawater or moisture to enter or leak into the battery. If the safety
mechanism within the battery becomes oxidized, the battery may overcharge with
abnormal electrical current and/or voltage so that it may overheat, ignite and/or explode.
2. Do not place the battery near open flames or heating devices, such as stoves.
Exposure to excessive heat may cause damage to the resin case and/or insulating
materials, thus causing a short circuit within the battery that may result in battery
overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
3. Charge the battery only with the exclusive charger specified (optionally provided) by
BIXOLON. The use of an incorrect charger may result in overheating, combustion
and/or explosion of the battery.
4. Charging the battery with a modified charger may result in overheating, combustion
and/or explosion of the battery by abnormal chemical reaction caused by incorrect
polarity.
5. Do not directly connect the battery to an electrical power outlet not specified by
BIXOLON or an automobile’s cigarette lighter jack. Doing so may result in overheating,
combustion and/or explosion of the battery by over-current and/or over-voltage.
6. Do not heat the battery or place it near a fire. Doing so may melt insulation materials,
damage the safety mechanism/equipment, and/or ignite the electrolytic solution. There
is a potential risk of battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
7. Do not reverse the connection of (+) and (-) electrodes of the battery. Charging the
battery in reverse polarity may produce an undesired chemical reaction inside the
battery cell, causing unexpected behavior during discharging such as overheating,
explosion, or fire.
8. Do not allow the battery’s (+) or (-) pole to come into contact with any metal. In addition,
do not carry or store the battery with metallic items, such as necklaces and hairpins.
Doing so may cause a short circuit of the battery generating an over-current. There is
the potential risk to overheat, ignite and/or explode the battery or overheat the metallic
items, such as necklaces, hair pins etc.
9. Do not throw the battery or subject it to strong shock. If the safety mechanism in the
battery is damaged, the battery may be overcharged and, consequently, an adverse
chemical reaction may be generated in the battery. There is a potential risk of battery
overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
