Storage
NOTE
Lithium-ion batteries are classified as danger-
ous goods according to class 9.
NOTE
Wherever possible, store batteries at ground
level so that they cannot be damaged by fall-
ing. Store the batteries in a segregated area
suitable for fire protection (container or safety
cabinet).
1. Try to ensure that the battery or battery
pack power is ≥60% before long-term storage
as the battery has a self-discharge function.
Be sure to charge the battery once every 2
months to ensure that the battery power re-
mains ≥60%;
2. Store in an environment with a temperature
range of 0°C–40°C;
CAUTION
Ambient storage temperature: 0°C to 40°C
3. Store in a dry, ventilated and cool environ-
ment, avoiding direct sunlight, high tempera-
ture or humidity, corrosive gas and severe vi-
bration; Protect against precipitation.
4. Stacking is prohibited for this product ser-
ies;
CAUTION
Store batteries secured against overturning. To pro-
tect batteries against moisture, do not store them di-
rectly on the floor.
Due to the fire risk, store batteries outside buildings.
Store batteries at a safe distance from flammable
materials.
Store lithium-ion batteries separately from other
types of batteries (no mixed storage).
Maintain a safety margin of at least 2.5m from other
goods.
5. Do not store under conditions whereby a
load or a hidden load is connected – that is, it
is prohibited to have any form of discharge be-
haviour during storage;
6. If the battery is found to be swollen, cracked
or the voltage value is excessively low after
long-term storage, the battery may be dam-
aged. Please contact the company's technical
department immediately for technical support.
7. After the battery has not been used for a
long time, do not charge or discharge it if a
smell or leakage is detected in the vicinity of
the battery.
Transportation
1. During loading, unloading and transporta-
tion, avoid severe vibrations and large exter-
nal impacts. Rough handling, rolling, overturn-
ing, crushing and excessive stacking are pro-
hibited; The battery transportation safety has
passed UN38.3 certification, and the single
transportation conforms to UN3480, and the
single transportation with forklift conforms to
UN3481;
2. Avoid rain during transportation;
3. Ensure that the battery or battery pack has
been disconnected from the load or charging
device before transportation, without any form
of charging and discharging.
DANGER
Do not bump the battery – handle it gently.
Observe the national regulations for the trans-
port of lithium-ion batteries.
If you have any questions regarding the trans-
port of lithium-ion batteries contact your au-
thorised service centre.
