ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
BATTERY SAFETY
DANGER
FIRE RISK
The battery product to be charged must be placed on a non-flammable, heat resistant and non-conductive
surface while charging. Keep corrosive, flammable and easily combustible objects clear of the battery
charger and the battery product. Do not cover the battery charger and the battery product while charging.
Disconnect the battery charger immediately in the event of smoke formation or fire.
Only use the original charger to charge the battery. The use of other battery chargers may damage the
batteries irreparably and even cause a fire.
Do not charge any third-party batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
If you notice fire: Extinguish the flames with oxygen reducing materials.
DANGER
RISK OF EXPLOSION
Protect battery products from heat and fire. Do not leave on radiators or expose to strong sunshine for long
periods. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Battery products may create sparks which could ignite the dust or fumes.
Only charge and use the battery product in ambient temperatures of between 0°C and 40°C.
Allow battery to cool down after long periods of use.
Check the charging cable regularly for signs of damage or ageing (brittleness). Only use it in perfect condition.
Do not stow or transport the battery product above 45°C or in direct sunlight. Ideally, the battery product
should be stored below 25°C so that self-discharge is low.
Do not expose the battery product to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a battery product will increase
the risk of electric shock.
If usage of the battery is not planned for a certain time (winter period) recharge the battery to avoid a deep
discharge.
Do not store the battery product in places where static electricity is present.
