2.3. Environmental Conditions
Caution! TAB’s LiFePO4 batteries may only be used in conditions specied in this
manual. Exposing the LifePO4 battery to conditions beyond the specied bound
varies may lead to serious damage to the product and/or the user. Use the LiFePO4
battery in a dry, clean, dust free, well ventilated space. Do not expose the LiFePO4
battery to re or water or solvents.
When the batteries are placed in an enclosed environment without air circulation, it
is advised to provide 2 ventilation holes of 100 mm x 100 mm each, to prevent heat
built-up.

2.5. Operation Modes
Discharge mode
When the LiFePO4 battery voltage is below 2.5 V/Cell.
Deep discharge mode
For example, with 12V battery, when the LiFePO4 voltage is below 6 V. The LiFePO4
battery is not usable anymore, and cannot be repaired, only recycled. Make sure the
batteries are not deeper discharged than 10 VDC.
3. Safety Guidelines and Measures
3.1. General
• Do not short-circuit TAB LiFePO4 battery.
• Treat TAB LiFePO4 battery as described in this manual.
• Do not dismantle, crush, puncture, open or shred TAB LiFePO4 battery.
• Do not expose TAB LiFePO4 battery to heat or re. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
• Do not remove TAB LiFePO4 battery from its original packaging until required for
use.
• In the event of TAB LiFePO4 battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in
contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with
copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
• Use battery charger devices that are capable to charge TAB LiFePO4 battery.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (–) marks on TAB LiFePO4 battery and equipment
and ensure correct use.
• Do not use any battery which is not designed for use with TAB LiFePO4 battery.
• Do not mix batteries of different manufacture, capacity, size or type within a device.
• Keep TAB LiFePO4 battery clean and dry.
• Secondary batteries need to be charged before use. Always use the correct charger
and refer this manual for proper charging instructions.
• Do not leave TAB LiFePO4 battery on continuous charge when not in use.
• After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge TAB
LiFePO4 battery several times to obtain maximum performance.
• Retain the original product documentation for future reference.
Warning! Keep the battery away from water, dust and contamination.
Warning! Do not crush or puncture the battery.
