b) Additional information on lithium rechargeable batteries
• Special care must be taken when charging, operating and handling rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Do
not leave lithium rechargeable batteries unattended while charging/discharging.
• The rechargeable battery must not be exposed to temperatures exc50 °C, for example, a
car’s interior in summer, etc. (also note all other manufacturer’s information!).
• Use only a suitable external charger to charge rechargeable lithium batteries and observe the cor-
rect charging method. Do not use conventional chargers for lithium rechargeable batteries in order
to avoid fire and explosion hazards!
• Store the battery in a dry place and at room temperature. If possible, use a special storage container
(e.g. LiPo bags as in model construction).
• The battery must not get damp or wet.
• The rechargeable battery should be removed from the product if it is not used for a long period of
time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries may cause acid burns when
they come into contact with skin. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves to handle damaged bat-
teries.
• Batteries must be kept out of the reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around as there is a
risk that children or pets may swallow them.
Observe the safety information in each section.
