2.2. SAFETY MEASURES ASSOCIATED WITH BATTERY USE
1. If not using the battery unit, store it away from other metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other such small metal items that might form a connection between the two terminals. Creating a short-circuit
between the battery terminals can lead to burns or cause a fire.
2. Keep the battery out of the reach of children and place it on a non-combustible support.
3. Do not interfere with its cooling cycle.
4. Do not use or leave the battery near a heat source (> 60°C).
5. Do not leave the battery in direct, strong sunlight.
6. Do not expose the battery to microwaves or high pressure.
7. Do not immerse the battery in water.
8. The batteries must be charged in a dry, ventilated room at a temperature between 10°C and 25°C maximum,
away from any moisture.
9. If the battery is not used for 10 days, the battery will automatically discharge until it reaches its storage charge
rate, and then goes to sleep. It will heat up during this phase.
10. Over time, the capacity of your battery reduces. When it reaches half of its original battery-life operating time,
it should be replaced.
11. The battery may lose 1 to 4 % of its capacity when exposed to a temperature higher than or equal to 55 °C
for one week.
12. The charging location must be equipped with a class D fire extinguisher (for metal fire) in good working order.
13. The standards in effect must be complied with when either shipping a complete tool or a battery.
• A complete tool with a battery is a product that is classified as class 9, UN3481.
• Battery alone: product that is classified as class 9, UN3480.
14. Use of a battery other than that provided by Pellenc SA is dangerous (risk of serious injury). If a different battery
is used, Pellenc SA cannot be held responsible for any consequences.
15. The battery must be protected from any impact and must be positioned and secured appropriately during trans-
portation.
16. In the case of suspicious smoke, place the battery outside the charging area or transportation vehicle as far
away as possible from any inflammable material.
17. Never store a battery when its capacity is below 50 %. Recharge the battery before storage if the value is
below 50%.
