and / or performance, and reduced product life.
2) Do not allow water, sea water from entering or leaking into the battery. If the batteries
internal safety device burn, when charging it, it may produce abnormal current and/or
voltage, or abnormal chemical reaction when charging it, then may cause the battery
overheating, fire and/or explosion.
3) Do not use or place the battery nearby the stove or other high temperature places.
Excessive heat maybe damage the resin shell and/or the insulation materials, thereby cause
short-circuit inside the battery, then the battery may be overheated, burning and/or
explosion.
4) When charging, use a specified charger. Other conditions (high temperature, high
pressure/high current, using the modified battery charger, etc.) excluded here may result in
over-charging the battery and abnormal current and/or voltage, cause abnormal chemical
reaction, and may cause the battery overheat, light and/or explosion.
5) Battery clearly marks with positive and negative. When connect the battery with the
charger and/or printer, be sure to verify the correct battery orientation. Reverse insertion
will cause the reverse charging and may cause abnormal chemical reaction, and then may
cause the battery overheat, ignite, and/or explosion.
6) Do not make the battery contact with the power outlet and/or car cigarette lighter socket.
This may cause high pressure and excessive current, and lead to the battery overheat,
burning and/or explosion.

and/or damage safety devices or safety equipment, then ignite electrolytic solution, and
cause the battery overheat, burning and/or explosion.
8) Do not use the battery with contrary (+) and (-) location. In the charging process, this will
cause the reverse charging and may cause abnormal chemical reaction. During use, may
appear unpredictable current exception, and cause the battery overheat, ignite, and/or
explosion.
