•Liquids may leak from the rechargeable battery in the event of damage, improper use or over-ageing. This can cause skin irritation or burns. Use
suitable protective gloves, if this is the case. Avoid direct contact with the skin; do not allow liquid to get in the eyes. In case of accidental contact,
rinse the affected skin areas with a lot of clear, lukewarm water; do the same for eye contact. In case of eye contact (or stronger irritation of the
skin), consult a physician.
•Liquids leaking from batteries are chemically very aggressive. Objects or surfaces coming into contact with these liquids could be severely
damaged. Thus, store batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
•The rechargeable battery must not get damp or wet; shield the rechargeable battery from cold, heat and sunlight. Failure to observe this can not
only reduce the operating life of the rechargeable battery, but can also result in damage. In extreme cases, there is also a risk of explosion!
•Do not place any objects on the rechargeable battery.
d) Charging
•Use only the charger that is associated with the system for charging. Use of chargers other than that recommended by us poses is a significant
risk of fire or explosion of the batteries!

•Never leave the battery to charge unsupervised.
•The rechargeable battery gets warm during the charging process, even at high discharge currents. For this reason, it is necessary to ensure
sufficient ventilation.
•The rechargeable battery fits only in one direction into the charger or battery- operated power tools. Never use force to insert the rechargeable
battery.
•Do not charge the rechargeable battery while it is still hot (e.g. after operation in a power tool). Allow the battery to cool down to room temperature
before attempting to recharge it.
•Never charge a damaged, leaking or deformed rechargeable battery. This may cause a fire or explosion! Discontinue use immediately and
dispose in an environmentally-friendly manner of a rechargeable battery that has become unusable in this way.
•An unused li-ion rechargeable retains its energy normally for several months; however, total discharge will cause permanent damage and result in
its being unusable.
If the rechargeable battery is to be stored for a long period of time, please note:
