voltage or current over regulated value, or with a remodeled
charger), it may overcharge or an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or
smoke, or burst into flame.
8) Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike with an
instrument, or step on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-
circuited. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture,
or burst into flame.
9) Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or
smoke, rupture, and/or burst into flame. If the battery's
protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at an
abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or
smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
10) Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst
into flame.
11) Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety
function is damaged, the battery may generate heat or
smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
12) Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large
amount of current may flow upon discharging. The battery
may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
13) Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the
battery pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or
operating equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of
the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the
charger, it will be reverse-charged and an abnormal
chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
14) Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!
If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes,
wash your eyes out with fresh water as soon as possible,
without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If
left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.
WARNING
1) Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time!
If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the
regulated time has passed, stop it. The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
2) Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high-
pressure container!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst
into flame.
3) Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire!
If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad
odor), immediately remove it from flammable areas.
Electrolyte leaking from battery can easily catch on fire and
cause the battery to generate smoke or burst into flame.
