Battery Power
Battery powered signs come with one or more rechargeable batteries. Depending on your preferences
these batteries will be either lithium or lead acid. Though they are shipped with the sign, typically, the
batteries are not installed in the sign. When you receive the sign, you need to remove the batteries from
their packaging and install them in the sign.

ARNING
:
Lithium batteries come with a protective wrap on the outside of the unit. this
protective wrap
should never
be removed as doing so damages the batteries and creates a
potential hazard. The Lithium batteries supplied with the SafePace EV11 sign are stable and
safe when handled and used properly. Do not bend the batteries or attempt to puncture them
with sharp objects as this could cause a fire and/or explosion.
Charging the Batteries
We strongly recommend that you charge the batteries fully before the initial use. The supplied battery
charger is equipped with a charge indicator. When the light on the charger is RED (with the battery plugged
into both the battery and an AC power outlet) the battery is charging. When the light turns GREEN, the
battery is fully charged and ready for use.
Installing Lithium Batteries in SafePace Evolution signs
Your SafePace EV11 sign holds up to two rechargeable lithium batteries. Each battery should be placed with
care into the battery holder inside the sign.
