LITHIUM-ION BATTERY WARNINGS & INFO

 

YOU MUST READ THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS BEFORE USING OR 

CHARGING YOUR FIXTURES.

LI-ION BATTERIES ARE VOLATILE.  FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE BELOW INSTRUC-

TIONS MAY RESULT IN FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY IF CHARGED 

OR USED IMPROPERLY.  BY PURCHASING AND USING THESE FIXTURES, YOU ASSUME ALL 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH LITHIUM BATTERIES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE CONDI-

TIONS, PLEASE CONSIDER RETURNING THE FIXTURES

 

1.  WARNING!  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, DO 

NOT TAMPER WITH THE CHARGING CIRCUITRY IN THIS FIXTURE.  

The use of other 

types of chargers may result in personal injury or equipment damage.  Under no circumstanc-

es attempt to connect the battery pack to any power supplies or other equipment that is not 

specifically and expressly designated for use with this model battery pack. 

2.  NEVER CHARGE UNATTENDED.  

When charging Li-Ion batteries, you must always re-

main in constant observation in order to react to potential problems which may occur.  Failure 

to do so may result in fire.  Put the battery in a fireproof container, and charge in an isolated 

area, away from flammable materials.  Always have a fire extinguisher ready for emergency 

use.  

3. USE THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY PACK ONLY WITH EQUIPMENT SPECIFICALLY 

AND EXPRESSLY DESIGNATED FOR USE WITH THIS MODEL BATTERY PACK. 

 Use with 

other equipment may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, and/or damage to equip

-

ment. 

4.  AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS. 

 Do not charge the battery 

pack in damp or wet conditions.  Avoid using the pack in direct exposure to rain or snow.  Do 

not use the battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive gases or flammable materi

-

als.

5.  AVOID USING OR STORING THE BATTERY PACK IN EITHER EXTREME COLD OR 

EXTREME HOT TEMPERATURES.  

The battery pack will disable itself under conditions of 

extreme heat (above 60 °C) and may not function to full performance under conditions of 

extreme cold (below –20 °C).  Storage at elevated temperatures (above 25 °C) will shorten 

the life of the battery pack.

6.  DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY PACKS. 

 Battery packs may explode causing 

personal injury, fire, and/or damage.  Fumes resulting from burning of battery packs may be 

toxic. 

7.  DO NOT DROP, CRUSH, IMPACT, OR MECHANICALLY ABUSE BATTERY PACKS.  

Cease use of fixtures that have suffered a sharp impact, been dropped, run over, or damaged 

in any other way.  Such impacts may cause internal damage that is not externally visible and 

that, over time, may cause short circuits, battery cell leakage, or other 

events that may lead to fire, personal injury, and or equipment damage. 

8.  DO NOT DISASSEMBLE BATTERY PACK. 

 There are no user serviceable parts within 

battery packs.  Disassembly may result in short circuiting or other damage that may cause 

fire, personal injury, and/or other damage. 

9.  AVOID CONTACT WITH BATTERY CHEMICALS.  

If a battery pack leaks battery chemi-

cals, avoid any contact with skin, eyes, or mouth.  In the event of contact with skin, wash 

immediately with soap and water and rinse with vinegar.  For eye contact, begin flushing with 

clean water, immediately call for medical help, and continue flushing for 20 minutes or until 

medical help arrives. 

10.  STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE.  

Avoid leaving the fixture in direct sunlight, vehicle 

cabs, compartments, or unventilated storage buildings during hot summer conditions.  Under 

extreme temperature conditions damage may occur.  Elevated temperatures in general 

shorten the life of your battery pack.
