13Battery Handling PrecautionDo not attempt to disassemble or reconstruct the packs.• The battery has safety function and protection circuit avoid the danger. If they get serious damage. It will cause the generating heat, smoke, rupture, or ame .Do not short circuit battery.• Neither short connect the positive terminal and negative terminal with metals nor catty or store the battery with metal objects .if the battery is short circuited, excessive large current will ow and then the generating heat , rupture or ame will occur . and also ,it will cause generating heat at metals. Please cover the plug with waterproof cap when not use the battery.Do not incinerate or heat the battery. • They will cause the melting of insulator, damage of gas release vent , lost of safety function ,or ignition on electrolyte. Above mentioned matters will cause the generating heating , smoke, rupture or ame.Do not use nearby heated place.• Do not use or leave battery nearby re, stove or heated place (more than 80˚C). In case that separator made of polymer is melted by high temperature, the internal short circuit oc-curs in individual cells and then it causes the generating heat ,smoke, rupture or ame.Do not immerse the battery in water or seawater or get it wet.• In case that depredator made of polymer is melted high temperature , the internal short circuit occurs in individual cells and then it cause the gener-ating heat ,smoke, rupture or ame.Donotchargebatterynearbythereorundertheblazingsun.• if the protection circuit does not avoid the danger works under high temperature or it is broken, the battery will be charged at abnormal current (or voltage )and abnormal chemical reaction will occur. It causes the generating heat , smoke, rupture or ame.Do use the special charge and observe charging requirement. • If the battery is charge in unusual condi-tion ,it will cause lost of safety function or the abnormal chemical reaction and heat, smoke ,rupture or ame will occur.Do not try to damage the battery.• Do not drive a nail into the battery strike it by hammer, or tread it. The impact will cause leakage or generate heat, smoke, rupture or ame.Do not use the direct soldering on battery.• As the insulator is melted by heat or the gas release vent is broken , it cause the generating heat, smoke, rupture or ame.Do not connect battery to the plug socket or car-cigarette-plug.• Added high voltage to the battery ,the excessive current will ow in it and then it will cause the generating heat, smoke, rupture or ame.Do not use battery for other equipment.• If the battery is used for other equipment, it will deteriorate its performance and cycle-life. At worst, abnormal current will ow or battery may generate heat ,smoke, rupture or ame.Do not touch a leaked battery directly. • In case the leaked electrolyte gets into eyes, wash them with fresh water as soon as possible without rubbing eyes. And then, see a doctor immediately.Donotcontinuetochargeoverspeciedtime.• If the battery is not nished charging over regulated time ,let it stop charging .There is possibility that the battery might generate heat ,smoke ,deformation or ame.Do not get it into a microwave or high pressure container.• It causes the generating heat ,smoke ,defor-mation or ame because of a sudden heat or damage of sealing condition of batteryDonotputleakedbatterynearre.• If the liquid leaks from the battery (or the battery give out bad smell), let the battery leave ammable objects immediately .Otherwise ,the electrolyte leaked from battery will catch re and other danger.Do not use an abnormal battery.• In case the battery has bad smell, changes color, deforms , or causes something wrong in using ,take it out from equipment or charger and do not use it. If an abnormal battery is used , it will generate heat ,smoke, rupture or ame.
