Battery Safety Tips
Using the Battery
1. Any misuse of the Lithium Ion battery that leads to overheating, rupture, or ignition
may cause serious injury. Follow the safety rules below:
a. Keep the battery from fire or heat
b. Do not reverse the polarity of the battery
c. Do not allow the battery terminals to connect to each other
d. Do not store the battery with other metal objects
e. Do not subject the battery to high impacts, strike the battery, step on the
battery, or puncture the battery
f. Do not solder directly onto the battery
g. Do not subject the battery to water or salt water. Do not immerse the battery or
allow it to get wet.
h. Do not take apart, tamper with, or rework the battery. This could damage the
safety and/or protection devices which could cause the battery to produce
heat, rupture, or ignite.
i. Do not allow the battery on or near fire, stoves, or high temperature areas. Do
not place the battery in direct sunlight or store the battery inside cars that may
exceed 140°F (60°C). Doing so may cause the battery to produce heat,
rupture, or ignite. Additionally, it may result in the loss of battery performance
and shortened life expectancy.
CAUTION
2. Immediately stop battery usage if, while using or storing, the battery emits an unusual
smell, feels hot, discolors, changes shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Contact Powermetrix if any of these problems are observed.
3. Do not place the battery inside microwave ovens, high-pressure containers, or on
induction cookware.
4. Should the battery leak and fluid gets into a person’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse
well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated the battery fluid
could cause damage to the eye.
