WARNING:
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is
cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has received damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with
a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.
WARNING:
Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed
battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes,
drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the
battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins hand
tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and
carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materi-
als that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE:
Lithium-Ion batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1.
2.2.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are
burned.
Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or
fumes.
If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and
water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until
irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte for Lithium-Ion batteries is
composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.
Charge the battery packs only in ALEAPOW chargers.
DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This may cause premature cell failure.
Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 105°F (40˚C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or
cold.
Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.
