RAVEAN SAFETY RULES FOR LITHIUM ION BATTERY 

PACKS AND CHARGERS 
SAFETY HAZARD WARNINGS FOR LITHIUM ION 

BATTERIES
Rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are potentially 

hazardous and can present a serious FIRE HAZARD if 

damaged, defective or improperly used. Larger Lithium 

batteries and those used for industrial use involving high 

discharge current and frequent full discharge cycles 

require special precautions.
A FIRE IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR DURING THE 

CHARGING PROCESS UNDER THE FOLLOWING 

CIRCUMSTANCES:
• THE BATTERY HAS BEEN FULLY DISCHARGED AND IS 

NOT RECHARGED SHORTLY AFTERWARD. This 
potential is aggravated if batteries are damaged, contain 

an undetected factory defect, are used or stored at 

temperature extremes, or are approaching the end of 

their useful life. Ideally, batteries should be recharged 

within 24 hours of a full discharge.
• CHARGING IS ATTEMPTED AT TEMPERATURES 

BELOW 40°F (4°C). Charging below 40°F (4°C), causes a 

chemical reaction in the battery cells that can cause 

permanent damage and the possibility of fire or 

explosion during charging.
• THE BATTERY HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO LIQUIDS, 

ESPECIALLY SALTWATER. Exposure to liquids can cause 

internal corrosion or damage to the cells or to the 

Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS protects 

the battery from overcharging, high self- discharge or 

imbalanced charging of the cells, any of which can 

present the possibility of fire during recharging.
• OPERATING OR CHARGING A BATTERY OR BATTERY 

CHARGER THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED FROM 

DROPPING OR FROM SHIPPING DAMAGE, OR DAMAGED 

IN ANY WAY. A DAMAGED BATTERY IS SUBJECT TO 

EXPLOSION OR FIRE. PROPERLY DISPOSE OF A 

DROPPED OR DAMAGED BATTERY IMMEDIATELY.
• USING A CHARGER OTHER THAN SPECIFICALLY 

DESIGNATED FOR THE BATTERY BY THE MANUFAC-

TURER. A CHARGER THAT IS SUITABLE FOR ONE TYPE 

OF BATTERY PACK MAY CREATE RISK OF FIRE, WHEN 

USED WITH ANOTHER BATTERY PACK
CHARGING RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations, in addition to those 

precautions above, should be followed when charging 

Lithium Ion batteries to ensure the avoidance of 

potentially catastrophic fire or explosion.
• Charging should be performed in a fire-safe area, away 

from children or pets. For maximum safety, a metal 

trashcan with lid placed on a non-flammable surface is 

suggested. Never charge batteries unattended, or where 

objects such as carpet, furniture, wood or vinyl floors, 

curtains or other flammable objects are present.
• Charging should be performed at a temperature 

between 40°F and 110°F (4°C and 43°C). Never charge 

below 40°F (4°C).
• Do not attempt to charge a battery that is swollen or 

bulging. Use only supplied charging cables and 

connections. Make sure connections are in good 

condition. Do not allow the charging polarity to be 

reversed or short-circuited. If equipment is connected 

during charging, equipment should be switched off. As a 

delayed chemical reaction, can occur if a fault is present, 

observe the battery in a safe place for at least 15 minutes 

after charging is complete.
• A healthy battery should only get slightly warm during 

charging. If the battery becomes hot, smokes, swells, or 

gives off an odor during charging, terminate charging 

immediately and contact the manufacturer. Note – the 

charger itself may get quite warm to the touch when 

charging a deeply discharged battery.

OPERATING AND STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
• Batteries may be safely discharged at temperatures 

between 4°F and 140°F (-20°C and 60°C). Note this is the 

safe battery temperature rather than ambient 

temperature. Heavy use (frequent flashing) will cause 

the battery to develop internal heat beyond the ambient 

temperature. It is recommended that the discharge duty 

cycle be limited to 50% or less for long-term continuous 

use (more than 5-10 minutes). Example: If recycle time 

is, say 4 seconds, allow 8 seconds between shots. If 

shooting is in ambient temperatures above 105°F (41°C), 

lower duty cycles are recommended. Typically, in 

Vagabond units, the inverter will temporarily shut down if 

overheated from excess duty cycle. Note that battery 

capacity is lower at cold temperatures.
• Batteries should be stored at temperatures between 

40°F and 80°F (4°C and 27°C) for maximum life and 

safety. Higher storage temperatures increase the 

self-discharge rate from the nominal 1-2% per month to 

as high as 35% per month, and can reduce battery life 

and increase the possibility of catastrophic failure with 

long term high temperature storage. Never store 

batteries at temperatures higher than 170°F (76°C) as 

this can potentially result in self-combustion, 

particularly in LiNiMnCoO2 (NMC) batteries. LiFePO4 

batteries are intrinsically safer, more tolerant and robust 

than LiNiMnCoO2 (NMC) batteries.
• Batteries may be stored at 100% charge if used 

frequently. However, for maximum life, batteries 

infrequently used should be stored at 40% to 70% 

charge. An easy way to bring a discharged battery into 

the proper long-term storage charge is to charge for 

about 60 minutes with the supplied charger. An easy way 

to reduce a fully charged Vagabond VML or VLX battery 

down to the recommended long-term storage charge is 

to connect and operate the Vagabond into a 100-watt 

table lamp for about 30 minutes. Batteries in long-term 

storage at room temperature should receive a refresh 

charge every three months or so. If you are unsure of the 

state of charge of Vagabond batteries, turn the Vagabond 

ON and observe the battery gauge LEDs. Ideal long-term 

charge is present if the center LED (>50% charge) is lit.
SAFE DISPOSAL OF LITHIUM ION BATTERIES 
• Lithium Ion batteries contain elements that may pose 

health risks to individuals if they can leach into the 

ground water supply. In some countries, it may be illegal 

to dispose of these batteries in standard household 

waste. Fortunately, many recycling facilities exist that 

process lithium ion batteries, in part due to the value of 

the materials contained within the individual cells. In the 

United States and Canada, a large network of over 

30,000 battery drop-off locations may be found at 

www.call2recycle.org.
To render the battery safe, apply tape over any exposed 

connectors to prevent the accidental shorting of the 

positive and negative terminals of the battery during 

transport. Place each battery into its own plastic bag, 

seal the bag, and deposit the battery into the recycling 

container. NEVER dispose of the battery in a fire or 

incinerator, as the battery may catch fire and explode.
