1. Handling of Batteries
1.1 Do Not Short Circuit the Battery
Try to never short circuit the battery. It generates a very high
current which could cause the battery to overheat which may
result in electrolyte gel leakage, harmful fumes, or explosion.
The LIR tabs may easily short-circuit by placing them on con-
ductive surface. A short circuit may lead to heat build up and
damage of the battery. An appropriate circuitry with PCM is
employed to protect accidental short circuit of the battery pack.
1.2 Mechanical shock
Droping the unit, impact hit, bending, etc. may cause failure or
shortend life of the LIR battery.
3. Other

3.1 Battery connection

1). Direct soldering of wire leads or devices to the battery is
strictly prohibited.
2). Lead tabs with pre-soldered wiring shall be spot welded to
the batteries. Direct soldering may cause damage of compo-
nents, such as separator and insulator, by heat build up.
3.2 Prevention of short circuit within a battery pack
There is enough insulation layers between wiring and the bat-
teries to provide extra safety protection. The battery pack is
constructed in a way that no short circuit will occur which may
cause smoke or fire.
3.3 Do No Disassemble the Batteries
1). Never disassemble the batteries.
Doing this may cause a internal short circuit in the battery,
which may lead to harmful fumes, fire, explosion, or other prob-
lems.
2). Electrolyte Gel is harmful
Electrolyte Gel should not leak from the LIR battery. Should the
electrolyte gel come into contact with the skin or eyes, flush the

area of contact immediately with fresh water and seek medical
attention immediately.
3.4 Do Not Expose the Battery to Heat or Fire
Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in fire. This may
cause an explosion, which would be very dangerous.
3.5 Do Not Expose the Battery to water or liquids
Never soak/drop the batteries in liquids such as water, seawa-
ter, drinks such as soft drinks, juices, coffee or other.
3.6 Battery Replacement
For battery replacement please contact ADJ Products, LLC cus-
tomer support (800) 322-6337.
3.7 Do Not use a damaged Battery
The battery could be damaged during shipping, caused by
shock. Should the battery be found damaged, including dam-
ages to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the
battery package, smelling of an electrolyte, or leakage of the
electrolyte gel, or other, DO NOT use the battery. A battery with
a odor of electrolyte or a gel leakage should be placed away
from fire to avoid fire or explosion.
4. Battery Storage
When storing the battery, it should be stored at room tempera-
ture, with a charge of at least 50%. We recommend that during
long periods of storage that the battery be charged every 6
months. Doing this will prolong the life of the battery and will
also make sure that the battery charge does not fall below the
30% mark.
5. Other Chemical Reaction
Because batteries utilize a chemical reaction, battery per-
formance will deteriorate over time even if stored for a long
period of time without being used. In addition, if the various
usage conditions such as charge, discharge, ambient tempera-
ture, etc. are not maintained within the specified ranges, the
