CAUTION
Take the following precautions when handling lithium batteries:
-
Do not place the lithium battery in fire or apply heat to the battery.
-
Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the
battery, or otherwise damage the outer casing.
- Do not subject the battery pack to strong impacts or shocks.
- Do not expose the battery to water or
salt water or allow the battery to get wet.
- Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection
devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
- Do not leave the battery in direct
sunlight or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the
battery to generate heat, rupture, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also
result in shortened life expectancy and loss of performance.
- Never short circuit, reverse polarity,
disassemble, damage, or heat the battery over 100 °C (212 °F). If an exposed lithium
battery does not start on fire, it will burn even more violently if it comes into contact
with water or even moisture in the air.
- Do not spill water on a burning battery.
A fire extinguisher must be used.
