2 Safety instructions for Li-ion
battery packs
Warning! Read and observe
all information and safety in­
structions. Failure to observe
the information and safety instructions
may lead to electric shocks, fires and/or
serious injuries.
Keep all safety information and other
instructions in a safe place for future
reference.
Cells in lithium-ion battery packs are
sealed so as to be gas-tight and are
non-hazardous provided they are used
and handled in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.

Handle discharged batteries with
care. Battery packs represent a safe­
ty hazard as they can cause a very
high short circuit current. Even if Li-
ion battery packs appear to be dis­
charged, they are in fact never fully
discharged.
– Make sure that the battery pack is
not subjected to physical blows or
impacts. Impacts and penetrating ob­
jects may damage the batteries. This
may lead to leakages, the generation
of heat or smoke, or cause the battery
pack to ignite or explode.
– Keep the unused battery pack away
from metal objects (e.g. nails,
screws, keys, paper clips, etc.) as
