SAFETY MEASURES
circuits, too deep discharges and too high charge
currents. Use insulated tools. Do not wear any
metallic items such as watches, bracelets, etc. In
case of fire, you must use a type D, foam or CO2 fire
extinguisher.
Too deep discharges damage the Li-ion battery
seriously and can even be dangerous. Use of external
fuse is recommended.
Li-ion Batteries are heavy. If involved in an accident
they can become a projectile! Ensure adequate and
secure mounting and always use suitable handling
equipment for transportation. Handle with care
because Li-ion Batteries are sensitive to mechanical
shock.
If charged after the Li-ion battery was discharged
below the Discharge cut-off voltage, or when the
Li-ion battery is damaged or overcharged, the Li- ion
battery can release a harmful mixture of gasses such
as phosphate.
Non-compliance with operating instructions, repairs
made with other than original parts, or repairs made
without authorization render the warranty void.

Safety measures
and guidelines
GENERAL RULES
Observe these instructions and keep them located
near the Li-ion Battery for future reference.
Work on the Li-ion Battery should be carried out
by qualified personnel only.
Never try to open or dismantle the Li-ion Battery.
Electrolyte is very corrosive. In normal working
conditions contact with the electrolyte is impossible.
If the battery casing is damaged do not touch the
exposed electrolyte or powder because it is corrosive.
Any uncovered battery material such as electrolyte
or powder on the skin or in the eyes must be flushed
with plenty of clean water immediately. Then seek
medical assistance. Spillages on clothing should be
rinsed out with water.
Explosion and fire hazard. Terminals of the Li-ion
Battery are always a live; therefore do not place
items or tools on the Li-ion Battery. Avoid short

batteries, you will help reduce the volume of waste
sent for incineration or landfills and minimize any
potential negative impact on human health and
environment. For proper disposal, contact your local
recycling or hazardous waste facility.
