Further important advice relating to battery charging:
– Charge the vR3 at every opportunity and after every trip. This answer that the vR3 is ready for operation as
often as possible. Regular and frequent charging is also better for the battery.
– If the vR3 is not used for an extended period of time, the batteries must be charged at least once every four
weeks.
– Charge the vehicle in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area wherever possible. The vR3 should not be located
near to a source of heat during charging.
– The vR3 must not be charged at temperatures below 0 °C or over 40 °C.
– If the vR3 is charged indoors, the room should be fitted with a smoke alarm. In addition, people should not
regularly remain in the room and no flammable materials or explosive substances should be present there.
5.2. General battery safety advice
Batteries must not be mechanically damaged (pierced, deformed, dismantled, etc.) and must not be shorted or
connected with incorrect polarity. The batteries must not be heated above 120 °C or burned and must not be
immersed in liquid. It is therefore recommended not to place the batteries close to a heating source and to protect
them from long-term exposure to sunlight or rain. Battery packs must not be modified or manipulated under any
circumstances, and should also be kept away from children. Furthermore, batteries must not be overcharged or
deep discharged. Deep-discharged batteries must not be re-charged or operate.
Measures to be undertaken if a defective battery discharges or in the case of fire:
– In principle, lithium battery fires can be fought with water. No additional or special extinguishing agents are to
be provided.
– If heavy smoke develops or gas is released, leave the room immediately. If possible, ensure sufficient ventilati-
on. Respiratory protection, protective gloves and protective clothing should be worn for fire-fighting.
– Direct contact with the batteries should be avoided. However, if there is contact with the skin or eyes, then
the affected areas should be thoroughly washed with water for at least 15 minutes
– If battery fluid is swallowed, the mouth and surrounding area must be immediately rinsed out with water
–
Medical assistance should always be obtained if smoke is inhaled, if there is skin or eye contact, if
battery fluid is swallowed or if burns are sustained.
