BP-234 BATTERY PACK

5

6

The optional BP-234 battery pack is a non-rechargeable,
Lithium battery pack for operation in a survival craft. The fol-
lowing precaution must be observed.

• 

NEVER

dispose of the BP-234 battery pack in a fire. This could re-

sult in an explosion.

• 

DO NOT

short-circuit the BP-234 battery pack. Metal contact (such

as paper clip, another battery, etc.) across the battery contacts can
result in a sustained high rate discharge, which could damage the
battery, void the warranty and create a burn or a fire hazard.

• 

NEVER

expose of the BP-234 battery pack to excessive heat of

60°C (+140°F) or above. This could result in electrolyte leakage,
possibly causing an explosion or fire.

• 

NEVER

attempt to recharge the BP-234. Lithium batteries may ex-

plode or cause a fire in such cases.

• 

DO NOT

disassemble the BP-234 battery pack. The BP-234 bat-

tery pack contains no user serviceable parts. Internal battery gas
can cause throat irritation. Also, exposed lithium may generate heat
and ignite.

• 

DO NOT

apply excessive pressure to the battery. This may result

in electrolyte leakage, possibly causing an explosion.

• The storage life of the BP-234 is about 5 years. Once the expira-

tion date on the battery pack passes, a new battery pack 

must

be

purchased.

• For safety reasons, once the BP-234 is used, a spare one should be

purchased. The original battery pack can be continued to be used
for regular communications; save the spare one for emergency sit-
uations.

• BP-234 Lithium battery pack

IMPORTANT!

• This battery pack is for 

EMERGENCY USE ONLY

.

• Store at temperatures below +35°C (+95°F).
• Once this bag’s seal is broken, a new emergency battery

pack must be used for EMERGENCY use.
