1. Security guidelines and measures 

1.1. General 

• Do not short-circuit the LiFePO4 battery. 

• Do not disassemble, crush, pierce, open or dismantle the LiFePO4 
  battery. 

• Do not expose the LiFePO4 battery to heat or fire. Avoid direct sunlight 
  exposure. 

• Do not take the LiFePO4 battery out of the original packaging until the 
  point of use. 

• In case of an electrolyte leak, the liquid should not encounter skin or  
  eyes. In the case of contact, wash the affected area with water and 
 consult a doctor. 

• Always use a class 2 charger, which is specially designed for LiFePO4  
  batteries. 

• Pay attention to the plus (+) and minus (-) markings on the LiFePO4 
battery as well as on the device and ensure correct use. First connect 
the positive cable and then connect the negative cable. 

• Do not mix batteries of different manufacturers, capacities, sizes or 
  types. 

• Keep the LiFePO4 battery clean and dry. 

• Secondary batteries must be charged before use. Always use the 
  correct charger and read this manual for correct charging instructions. 

• If the battery is stored for a longer period, remove it from the  
  vehicle and store it in a dry and frost-free location after charging. 

• Switch off all consumers connected to the battery after use, in order not 
to discharge constantly.

 

• Do not leave the LiFePO4 battery connected to the charger for weeks. 

• After long periods of storage, the battery must be charged with a class 
  2 charger. 

• Keep the original product documentation or the link to our website  
 (www.gs-power.net) ready.
