Handling and Storage:
● Never alter, puncture or impact Batteries or related components.
● Do not directly connect the terminals with metal objects. This will short-circuit
Batteries, resulting in heat and electrical discharge.
● Never store loose Batteries together, the Batteries' terminals may contact one
another causing a short circuit.
● Never expose Batteries to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
● Always disconnect Batteries when not in use.
Before the First Charge:

discontinue charging (or discharging) immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect
the charger. Then place the Batteries and/or charger in a safe, open area away from
flammable materials in an approved Li-Po bag to observe. After one hour, remove
the Batteries from service. DO NOT continue to handle, attempt to use, or ship the
Batteries. Failure to follow these procedures can cause damage to Batteries,
