BATTERY & CHARGER SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of
every battery pack to ensure that we supply you
with batteries that are safe, durable and have
a high energy density. The battery cells have a
wide range of safety devices. Each individual
cell is initially formatted and its electrical
characteristic curves are recorded. This data is
then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution
must be exercised when handling batteries.
The following points must be obeyed at all
times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only
be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used.
Incorrect handling of the battery pack can cause
cell damage.
