•
Do not charge the battery near fi res or under direct
sunlight!
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery
may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal
chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or
smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
•
Use only the specifi ed charger and observe charging
requirements!
If the battery is charged in unspecifi ed conditions (under high
temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or
current over regulated value, or with a remodelled charger), it
may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
fl ame.
•
Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an
instrument, or step on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
fl ame.
•
Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat
or smoke, rupture, and/or burst into fl ame. If the battery’s
protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at an
abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur.
•
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
fl ame.
•
Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety
function is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke,
rupture, or burst into fl ame.
•
Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large
amount of current may fl ow upon discharging. The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
