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.
