electronics, which, if damaged,
may cause the Battery to
generate heat, explode or ignite
» Do not expose the Battery to water
Battery Management System (BMS)
The ACX Batteries have built-in safety
electronics which constantly monitor
and manage the charging levels,
temperature and energy output of all
the cells in these batteries. The BMS
is designed to shut down the Battery
temporarily in case of overheating or
overcharging to avoid battery damage
and prevent the Battery from becoming
unstable or catching
fi re. In case of a
too low charge (deep discharge) or
worn out battery cells, the BMS may
shut the Battery down permanently.
This is to prevent the Battery becoming
unstable and dangerous to the user.
When used and charged correctly, the
BMS will increase the safety and service
life of the Battery substantially.The BMS
cannot protect the Battery from severe
misuse as mentioned earlier. Follow
the ActSafe Battery care instructions
to enable a long battery life.
DANGER
Do not use any other battery
chargers as they can damage
the Battery and may create
toxic gases which cause a
fi re.
