RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM BATTERY SAFETY GUIDELINES
DANGER
•
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES CAN POSE A RISK OF FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND
SERIOUS INJURY IF DAMAGED OR USED PAST THEIR EFFECTIVE LIFE (USUALLY 14
MONTHS).
•
STOP USING THE BATTERY IMMEDIATELY AND STOP CHARGING THE BATTERY IF
ABNORMAL HEAT, ODOR, DISCOLORATION, DEFORMATION/SWELLING OR ANY OTHER
ABNORMAL CONDITION IS DETECTED.
•
Thoroughly read the user’s manual before use, as inaccurate handling, storage or use of
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries may cause leakage, heat, smoke, fire, or degrade battery
performance.
•
Lithium-Ion batteries have finite life cycles. If the time that the battery powers equipment
between charges becomes shorter than usual, the battery life is at an end. Remove device
from service and contact MTI for guidance on replacement options.
CAUTION
•
Keep away from heat or open flame, especially if leakage or an odor is detected.
•
When not using the battery for an extended period, remove the electronic device from
service and store in a place with low humidity and controlled room temperature. Keep
the cells in 50% charged state during long period storage. Recommend maintenance is
to charge the battery up to 50% of the total capacity every 3 months after receipt of the
battery and maintain the voltage 3.7~4.0V.
•
Extended or improper storage can result in degraded battery performance and increased risk
of failure.
FIRST AID MEASURES
•
In case of battery rupture, evacuate personnel from contaminated area and provide
maximum ventilation to clear out fumes and gases. Avoid contact with any liquid leaking
from the battery.
•
If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, immediately flush affected areas with plenty of
water and soap for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Do not apply ointments
unless instructed by a doctor.
•
If liquid is leaking from the battery cell gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes.
Immediately flush with plenty of water (eyelids-held open) for at least 15 minutes and seek
medical attention.
