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.
SAFE DISPOSAL OF LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
Lithium Ion batteries contain elements that may pose health risks to individuals if they are allowed to 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.
