nformaTion concerning The baTTerY Pack
The battery pack ncludes flammable objects such as organc solvent.
Mshandlng may cause the battery to rupture producng flames or
extreme heat, deterorate, or cause other forms of damage to the
battery. Please observe the followng prohbtve matters.
• Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!
The battery pack has a safety functon and protecton crcut to
avod danger. If they suffer serous damage, the battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst nto flame.
• Do not short-circuit the battery!
Do not jon the + and – termnals usng any form of metal (such
as a paper clp or wre). Do not carry or store the battery pack
n contaners holdng metal objects (such as wres, chan-
necklace or harpns). If the battery pack s short-crcuted,
excessve current wll flow and the battery may generate heat
or smoke, rupture, or burst nto flame. It wll also cause metal
objects to heat up.
• Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!
If the nsulator s melted, the gas release vent or safety functon
s damaged, or the electrolyte s gnted, the battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst nto flame.
• Do not use or leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other
heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!
If the polymer separator s melted due to hgh temperature,
an nternal short-crcut may occur n the ndvdual cells and
the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst nto
flame.
• Avoid immersing the battery in water or getting it wet by
other means!
If the battery becomes wet, wpe t off wth a dry towel before
use. If the battery’s protecton crcut s damaged, the battery
may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal
chemcal reacton may occur. The battery may generate heat or
smoke, rupture, or burst nto flame.
