LiON Warning and Disclaimer
General Safety Guidelines
• Never use a NiCd/NiMH charger to charge
LiON batteries. Only use chargers designed
for Lithium Polymer (LiON) batteries.
• Never store LiON batteries in any location
that exceeds 40–80° F (e.g. in a car, garage, or
in the sun)
• Never let the battery’s positive and negative
leads touch. This can cause the battery to
short and lead to a FIRE. If for any reason
you need to cut the terminal wires, it will
be necessary to cut each wire SEPARATELY,
to make sure the wires do NOT touch each
other.
• Never charge a swollen or ballooned battery
(even if swollen upon purchase). Continuing
to charge a battery that has begun to swell
will result in a fire. Follow these steps:
1) Stop the charging process and disconnect
battery immediately.
2) Disconnect battery from the device
immediately.
3) Place it in an open, non-flammable area.
4) Watch it for approximately 30 minutes
from a safe distance.
5) Follow proper procedure to dispose of
battery.
• Always inspect the battery to make sure
there are no signs of damage, deformity, or
swelling before charging. If there are, STOP
charging the battery and follow the proper
procedure to dispose of the battery.
• Always store LiON batteries in cool, dry
places between 40-80° F.
• Always keep LiON batteries out of reach of
children or pets.
• If the battery reaches high temperatures in
the event of damage to the IDTAD, follow
these steps:
1) Disconnect battery immediately from the
device.
2) Place it in an open non-flammable area.
3) Watch it for approx. 30 minutes from a
safe distance.
4) If the battery appears to be stable (no
signs of damage or swelling), put it back
into your device and continue using with
caution.
