Specific safety precautions when working with Lithium-ion batteries
.
The provided Lithium-ion battery contains a protection circuit that protects the battery
against overload, deep discharge, short circuit and overheating.
In case of improper use (cutting, breaking, overheating) the batteries can explode or cause
fires, even after a prolonged time interval. Therefore, Lithium-ion batteries are generally to
be protected from mechanical damage and kept away from heat, open flames, and
corrosive liquids. Batteries must not be damaged in any way. Lithium cells generally
respond violently with water (particularly in fully charged condition); therefore, in case of
burning do not extinguish the flames with water, but use sand. Damaged Lithium-ion
batteries are readily to be disposed of in appropriate containers.
Lithium-ion batteries contain flammable and / or corrosive solutions and Lithium salts, which
may cause in the case of leakage irritation to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. In case
of contact with escaped electrolytes, gases, or fire by-products of a Lithium-ion battery, the
following first aid measures must be observed:
Eyes: In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately for at least 15 minutes with water.
Keep eyelids open in order to ensure the complete flushing of the eye.
Skin: Take off contaminated clothing and rinse under cold water for at least 15 minutes.
Respiratory system: Ensure fresh air supply. If necessary, perform first aid measures.
In any case, following first aid measures a doctor should be consulted.
Lithium-ion batteries must be only recharged with the supplied
PRIO
LITE charger (58V
charger).
The charge should be performed only under supervision and not in close proximity to
combustible materials; sufficient dissipation of heat must be provided (do not charge the
battery in the sun).
If a Lithium-ion battery is carried on air travel, then it must be discharged prior to departure
to avoid any risks.
