BATTERY MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
• Charge or discharge the battery to
approximately 50% of capacity before
storage.
• Charge the battery to approximately 50% of
capacity at least once every six months.
• Remove the battery and store it separately
from the product.
• Store the battery at temperatures between 5
°C and 20 °C (41 °F and 68 °F).
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a
battery.
• Do not short the external contacts on a
battery.
• Do not expose a battery to fire or water.
• Do not expose a battery to temperatures
above 60 °C (140 °F).
• Keep the battery away from children.
• Avoid exposing the battery to excessive
shock or vibration.
• Do not use a damaged battery.
• If a battery pack has leaking fluids, do not
touch any fluids.
• Dispose of a leaking battery pack (see
Disposal and Recycling in this document).
• In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub
eyes. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with
water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper
and lower lids, until no evidence of the fluid
remains. Seek medical attention.
• Immediately discontinue use of the battery if,
while using, charging or storing the battery,
the battery emits an unusual smell, feels
hot, changes color, or shape, or appears
abnormal in any way. Contact Travel Buggy if
any of these problems are observed
TRANSPORTATION
• Always check all applicable local, national,
and international regulations before
transporting a Lithium-Ion battery.
• Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or
recalled battery may, in certain cases, be
specifically limited or prohibited.
DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
• Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to disposal
and recycling regulations that vary by
country and region. Always check and follow
your applicable regulations before disposing
of any battery. Contact Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation (www.rbrc.org) for
U.S.A. and Canada, or your local battery
recycling organization.
• Many countries prohibit the disposal of waste
electronic equipment in standard waste
receptacles.
• Place only discharged batteries in a battery
collection container. Use electrical tape or
other approved covering over the battery
connection points to prevent short circuits.
NOTE
: The battery self-discharges during storage. Higher temperatures (above 20 °C or 68 °F) reduce the battery storage life.
