Lithium-Ion Battery Hazard
CAUTION!
For analyzer functionality and user safety, only use batteries
provided by ABB.
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are potentially hazardous and may present a
serious fire hazard if damaged, defective, or improperly used. A fire may potentially
occur in the following circumstances:
The battery has been fully discharged and is not recharged shortly
afterwards.
Charging is attempted at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).
The battery is exposed to liquids, especially salt water.
Operating or charging a battery damaged from dropping or from shipping
damage.
Using a charger other than specifically designated for the particular battery.
Charging recommendation:
Perform charging in a fire-safe area away from children or pets.
Perform charging at a temperature between 0 °C to 45 °C (32 °F to 113 °F).
Do not attempt to charge a battery that is bulging. Use only supplied
charging cables and connections.
A battery in good condition should only get slightly warm during charging.
Any other conditions immediately terminate charging.
Disposal: Dispose the battery at a recycling center that processes lithium-ion
batteries.
