Battery Safety Precautions
• Replace the battery with a VAX ONEPWR battery only. Use of another battery
may present a risk of fire or explosion.
• Don’t attempt to disassemble the battery, remove any component projecting from
the battery terminals and do not dispose of in a fire. The battery and charger
have no user serviceable parts. Fire or injury may result.
• Prior to disposal, protect exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape to prevent
shorting. The battery is to be disposed of safely at your local battery recycling
centre.
• When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
