12.
Never disassemble the battery or attempt to modify it in any way. The battery is fitted
with a number of safety devices. Damage to any of these safety devices can lead to
overheating, explosion or spontaneous ignition of the battery. The battery safety circuit
must not be used as a circuit breaker.
13.
Keep the battery away from naked flames, ovens and other sources of heat. Never
expose the battery to direct sunlight or store or use it in a vehicle during sunny weather.
High temperatures can damage the battery safety circuit and lead to overheating,
explosion or spontaneous ignition of the battery. Use of the battery under such
conditions can also impair battery performance and decrease the service life of the
battery.
14.
Never put the battery in a microwave oven, high pressure container or on an induction
cooker.
15.
If the battery is to remain unused for a period of time, it must be charged to approx.
30% - 50% and stored at room temperature (19°C to 25°C). In the event of a prolonged
period of storage, the battery must be charged once per year in order to avoid complete
discharge.
16.
Permissible temperatures for charging the battery are between 0° and 40°C, and for
discharging the battery are between 0° and 60°C.
17.
The battery and charger will become hot during charging. This is normal and is not an
indication of a malfunction.
18.
Charging must be stopped if the battery fails to charge fully within the specified charging
time.
Failure to stop charging can cause the battery to overheat, explode or spontaneously
ignite. Battery charging must be performed at temperatures of 0°C to 40°C. Charging at
any other temperatures can cause severe damage to the battery or decrease its service
life.
19.
Disused batteries must be isolated by winding adhesive tape or similar around the
connection terminals.
20.
Never dispose of the battery by burning or discarding it with standard household refuse.
Always take depleted batteries to a local disposal or recycling centre.
21.
Stop use of the battery immediately in the event of unusual odours during
charging/discharging, overheating, colour changes, deformation or other abnormalities.
22.
In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the eyes due to a battery leak,
never rub the eyes but rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention
immediately. Failure to seek medical attention can lead to eye injury.
23.
The battery must be charged before first use. It will reach its full capacity only after
several charge and discharge cycles.
24.
Only charge the battery block in chargers that have been subject to separate inspection
and have been certified as complying with EN 60335-2-29. Always read the operating
instructions for the charger before charging the battery block to protect against electric
shock and risk of injury/fire.
NOTE: Read the operating instructions carefully before use!
