Information concerning the battery pack:
The battery pack includes fl ammable objects such as organic solvent.
Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing fl ames or
extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the
battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters.
• Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!
The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to
avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not short-circuit the battery!
Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such
as a paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack
in containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-
necklace or hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited,
excessive current will fl ow and the battery may generate heat
or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame. It will also cause metal
objects to heat up.
• Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!
If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function
is damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not leave the battery near fi res, stoves, or other heat
generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!
If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature,
an internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and
the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
fl ame.
• Avoid immersing the battery in water or getting it wet by
other means!
If the battery becomes wet, wipe it off with a dry towel before
use. 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.
