Batteries and Battery Chargers - Warnings
The usage of batteries is at your own risk. Before handling, ensure any user has appropriate
understanding of the charging, discharging, and installing of lithium-ion batteries. Paratech is
not responsible for any damage caused by misuse or mishandling of li-ion batteries and/or
chargers.
Make sure to:
•
Only use approved Battery Cells recommended specifically for use in the Rescue
Guardian. Failure to do so could damage the Rescue Guardian or cause some or all of
the Rescue Guardian functions to fail. Each lithium-ion battery cell is equipped with a
protection circuit to increase safety and to minimize the potential for risk.
Nevertheless, the misuse or mishandling of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries can
pose a serious risk of personal injury or property damage.
•
Use caution when working with lithium-ion batteries as they are very sensitive to
charging characteristics and may explode or burn if mishandled or misused. For this
reason, do not store batteries (18650) in or near objects that will produce a static
electric charge. Very quick pressure changes can cause 18650 batteries to malfunction.
•
Always charge on a fireproof surface.
•
Charge only in a recommended smart charger designed for this specific type of lithium-
ion battery.
•
Do not overcharge or over-discharge batteries.
•
Recharge drained batteries as soon as possible.
•
Do not short-circuit batteries.
•
Do not mix and match old, new, used, and unused batteries.
•
Never leave batteries unattended while charging.
•
Always take the batteries out of the Rescue Guardian when not in use.
•
Do not expose batteries to extreme heat or moisture.
•
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Regulations and laws pertaining to the recycling and
disposal of lithium-ion batteries vary from country to country as well as by state and
local government. Please consult your local jurisdiction regarding appropriate
disposal. Note that many retail stores offer free recycling of rechargeable batteries.
CAUTION
: Under no circumstances are UNPROTECTED lithium-ion cells to be used in the
Rescue Guardian. These could damage the onboard electronics. Damage caused by
unauthorized batteries will void the manufacturer's warranty.
