Risk of explosion and release of harmful substances!
For this reason, do not burn lithium batteries, do not solder on the cell body, do not open,
do not short circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C, dispose of correctly,
and protect against direct sunlight, dampness and dew.
ESD directives
Modules containing electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs) can be identified by the following
label:
Strictly follow the guidelines mentioned below when handling modules which are sensitive to
ESD:
● Always discharge your body´s static electricity before handling modules that are sensitive
to ESD (for example, by touching a grounded object).
● All devices and tools must be free of static charge.
● Always pull the mains connector and disconnect the battery before you install or remove
modules which are sensitive to ESD.
● Handle modules fitted with ESDs by their edges only.
● Do not touch any wiring posts or conductors on modules containing ESDs.
