Lithium-ion Battery Precautions
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery packs are compact and offer high capacity and autonomy, which make them ideal
for demanding applications, like providing long lasting power to portable test equipment. For safety reasons,
due to their high energy concentration, these batteries packs and products containing them must be used,
charged, handled, and stored properly, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Li-ion battery packs contain individual Li-ion cells as well as battery monitoring and protection circuitry, sealed
in its plastic container that shall not be disassembled or serviced.
The test set unit's battery pack is also fitted with a safety connector to prevent accidental short circuits and
reverse polarity.
lAlways charge the unit's battery pack inside the test platform battery bay using the AC/DC adapter
supplied by VeEX.
lDo not charge or use the battery pack if any mechanical damage is suspected (shock, impact, punc-
ture, crack, etc).
lDo not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the expected charging time
lStorage: For long term storage, the battery pack should be stored at 20°C/68°F (room temperature),
charged to about 30 to 50% of its capacity. Spare battery packs should be charged and used at least
once a year to prevent over-discharge (rotate them regularly).
