Operating Manual
4. Always use chargers designed for the specific purpose, preferably
having a fixed setting for your particular pack. Many fires occur in using
selectable/adjustable chargers improperly set. Never attempt to charge
Lithium cells with a charger which is not, specifically, designed for charg
-
ing Lithium cells. Never use chargers designed for Nickel Cadmium bat-
teries.
5. Use charging systems that monitor and control the charge state of
each cell in the pack. Unbalanced cells can lead to disaster if it permits
overcharge of a single cell in the pack. If the batteries show any sign of
swelling, discontinue charging, and remove them to a safe place outside
as they could erupt into flames.
6. Most important: NEVER PLUG IN A BATTERY AND LEAVE IT TO
CHARGE (DISCHARGE), UNATTENDED OVERNIGHT. Serious fires
have resulted from this practice.
7. Do not attempt to make your own battery packs from individual cells.
These batteries CANNOT be handled and charged casually such as
has been the practice for years with other types of batteries. The conse-
quence of this practice can be very serious resulting in major property
damage and/ or personal harm.
