Do not short-circuit the battery!
Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such as a
paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in
containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklace or
hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will
flow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst
into flame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up.
•
Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!
If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is
damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate heat
or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
•
Do not use or leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other heat
generators (areas reaching over 80
°
C/ 176
°
F)!
If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an
internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the battery
may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
•
Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other
means!
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge
at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction
may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into flame.
•
Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct sunlight!
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge
at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction
may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into flame.
•
Use only the specified charger and observe charging
requirements!
If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high
temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or
current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may
overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
•
Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an
instrument, or step on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
