SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)
f Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when lithium ion battery packs
are burned.
f If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water.
If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the
open eye for 15min or until irritation ceases. If medical
attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed
of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium
salts.
f Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persists, seek medical attention.
Warning! Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable
if exposed to spark or flame.
TRANSPORTATION
STANLEY batteries comply with all applicable shipping
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards
which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport Association
(IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, International
Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and
the European Agreement Concerning The International
Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-
ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of
the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a STANLEY battery pack will
be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class
9 Hazardous material. In general, the two instances that
require shipping Class 9 are:
1. Air shipping more than two STANLEY lithium-ion
battery packs when the package contains only battery
packs (no tools), and
2. Any shipment containing a lithium-ion battery with an
energy rating greater than 100 watt hours (Wh). All
lithium-ion batteries have the watt hour rating marked
on the pack. Regardless of whether a shipment is
considered excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's
responsibility to consult
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentation requirements.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fire if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that
the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from
30
materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

BATTERY TYPE
The SCD12 operates on a 12V Max battery pack.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry
away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For
optimum battery performance and life, store b a t t e r y
packs at room temperature when not in use.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.
Note: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
