∙ Do not use the battery for purposes other than those specified. In
contrary, the warranted capacities will be missed and/or their duration
will be shorter, and the battery could create heat, gas, and/or fire.
∙ Do not solder the wires neither on the power contacts, nor on the
signal connectors. The welding could generate dangerous situations.
Safety during the elimination
∙ Do not burn the lythium batteries nor eliminate them with normal gar-
bage, because they could burst and/or explode with violence.
∙ The battery must be eliminated following the RAEE system, by au-
thorized companies. The user is legally responsible for the dangers
created during the elimination phase of the batteries.
Warning
∙ The following behaviours can damage the battery and make it gene-
rate heat, gas and fire:
- Do not use the battery connected with other types of battery, (with
different tension, capacity, chimical characteristics, of different firms).
In cases like these, overcurrents can happen both in charge and
discharge phases.
- Do not put the battery in a microwave oven. The sudden heat may
damage the battery capacity.
- If you notice odor, heat, fading, deforming or whatever other change
from normal conditions, disconnect the battery and do not use it.
∙ If toxic or corrosive materials come into contact with eyes or skin,
flush with water and seek medical advice.
∙ Do not pick damaged batteries up with bare hands. The lythium can
cause burns. Use shovels, tongues or other instruments to put the
batteries in containers with mineral oils.
∙ Pay attention while collecting the batteries to eliminate, in order to
avoid short circuits, or that the casing would be compacted or destro-
yed.
∙ Wear protective clothing (glasses, clothes, safety shield, and safety
breathing apparatus).
∙ Do not breath gas. Ventilate the area in order to disperse gas before
entering the room.
∙ Do not use the battery in conditions different from the following ones:
discharge: -20°C ÷ +60°C;
