🇬🇧 Handling lithium-ion batteries
DANGER! Lithium-ion cells can get hot or ignite and cause serious injury when exposed to extreme conditions.
Do not connect the positive and negative poles of the battery with metal objects (e.g. wire).
Only use approved LiFePO-4 chargers
Be especially careful while wearing necklaces, rings, bracelets, hairpins, or other metal objects.
Do not puncture, hit, or step on the battery.
Do not immerse the battery in liquid and avoid moisture.
Do not use a LiFePO4LiFePO4 battery with other types of batteries.
Do not connect the battery to an alternator or non-electronically controlled charging system (except when using a voltage regulator).
Do not smoke next to the battery.
Be careful not to let heavy objects fall on the battery.
Keep it away from children.
Do not store it in or in the near fire, on stoves or on other Places with high temperatures.
Do not expose it to direct sunlight or use/store the battery in cars in hot weather. Otherwise, the battery may release heat or ignite. This use may also result in loss of performance and shortened lifespan.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery is equipped with safety and protection devices that, if damaged, could cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite.
Stop using the battery immediately if it emits an unusual odor, becomes hot, changes color or shape, or otherwise appears unusual during use, charging, or storage.
Do not insert the battery intoMicrowave oven, a high pressure container or on induction hotplates.
Check it regularly for damage, cracks and corrosion on the connections. Do not use it if you notice any damage.
The terminals can always be live, so do not place metal objects on a Li-ion battery.
Avoid short circuits, deep discharges and high charging currents.
Use tools with insulated handles.
When working with the battery, avoid wearing any metal objects, e.g. watches, bracelets, rings, etc.
If the battery burns, you must use a Type D foam or CO2 fire extinguisher to extinguish it.
Do not open or disassemble the battery. Electrolyte is highly corrosive. Under normal conditions contact with it is impossible. If the case is damaged, do not touch exposed electrolyte or powder as it is corrosive.
Li-ion batteries can become projectiles in an accident due to their large mass. Always ensure secure attachment
Transport it carefully as Li-ion batteries are sensitive to mechanical shock.
Before use, check whether the battery emits noises that indicate a defect. Do not use the battery if it crackles, hisses or anything similarSounds can be heard – there is a risk of fire.
Use good quality and correct size cables.Battery cables must be crimped, preferably soldered. Solder connections alone are not sufficient. UL listed battery cables are recommended.
