Battery control safety and
precautions
• Use only the specified charger or equipment for the charging func-
tion. Never modify the specified charger.
• Do not modify the SP-70 battery control internal electronics or wiring.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack.
• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses and use extreme caution
when handling a damaged or leaking Nickel Metal Hydride battery
pack. The chemical inside the battery cells is strongly alkaline and can
cause injury to the eyes and skin, and damage to clothing.
• Keep the battery control and battery pack dry.
• Keep the battery control away from fire or other sources of extreme
heat. Overheated battery packs can expand and burst or explode.
• Do not short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack. This could cause
the battery pack to overheat and burst or explode.
• Never expose the battery control to temperatures above +140° F.,
such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight. If you must
use your control on hot, sunny days, try to keep it in a shaded area,
such as a baseball dugout or football press box.
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in fire. Also, the disposal of Nickel
Metal Hydride batteries in household or business trash may be prohib-
ited in some areas. Consult and comply with local ordinances for
approved disposal procedures.
• Do not expose the battery control to excessive mechanical shock.
• Do not use the battery pack in any other device or for any other pur-
pose.
