Protect batteries from dirt and mechanical damage.
Store charged batteries in cool rooms. The lowest self discharge occurs at
approx. +2°C (35.6°F).
Refer to the specifications of the battery manufacturer or conduct weekly
visual inspections to ensure that the battery is filled with acid (electrolyte)
up to the maximum marking.
Do not start operating the device, or immediately stop operation, and have
the battery inspected by an authorized specialist if:
-
The acid level is uneven or there is high water consumption in individual
cells caused by a possible defect
-
The battery heats up to an impermissible level, above 55°C (131°F)
Lithium batteries are sealed, gas-tight units and harmless, provided that the
manufacturer's instructions are observed during use and handling
Never use battery chargers that are not suitable for the type of battery
Do not short circuit
Do not damage mechanically (pierce, deform, disassemble, etc.)
Do not heat or burn above the permissible temperature
Always store batteries in a dry and cool place
Lithium batteries, when handled properly under the parameters specified by
the manufacturer, are safe during use
Incorrect handling or circumstances leading to improper operation may
cause leakage of battery contents and decomposition products, resulting in
violent reactions that endanger health and the environment
Since a wide variety of chemical substances are used inside batteries, the
manufacturer's instructions for immediate action and first-aid measures
must always be followed in the event of an accident
Lithium batteries must be handled in accordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions under all circumstances
This applies in particular to compliance with the limits for maximum current
load, charging and discharging cutoff voltages, as well as mechanical and
thermal loads
The battery charger and battery are matched to each other and must not be
modified or tampered with under any circumstances, as this may result in
considerable safety risks
Lithium batteries should preferably be stored at room temperature and in a
dry place (for details, refer to the manufacturer's instructions on the storage
temperature range)
Avoid large temperature fluctuations (e.g., do not store near heaters, do not
expose to continuous sunlight)
