Attention!
!
Do not solder directly onto the batteries – the temperatures which occur during soldering
can damage the seals and safety valves of the cells. This would cause the battery to lose
electrolyte or dry out, and some of its performance would be lost.
Attention!
!
Overcharging damages battery capacity. Therefore, do not charge the battery if it is hot
or has already been charged.
Attention!
!
Charging and discharging any battery at a high current shortens its life expectancy.
Do not exceed the values specified by the manufacturer.
Attention!
!
Protect batteries from vibration and do not subject them to mechanical stress.
Attention!
!
Batteries can generate explosive gas (hydrogen) when charging and during operation.
It is therefore important to provide adequate ventilation.
Attention!
!
Do not allow batteries to come into contact with water – explosion hazard!
Attention!
!
Never short-circuit battery contacts – explosion hazard!
Attention!
!
Batteries can explode or catch fire if they are defective. We therefore recommend charging
the batteries in a LiPo safety case (order no. 8370 or 8371).
Attention!
!
Do not open batteries – risk of chemical burns.
Attention!
!
Do not be surprised if your battery packs do not charge as quickly and their level of
performance is not as high in winter as in summer. The ability of a cold cell to accept and
store charge is much lower than that of a warm one.
Attention!
!
Information on the German Batteries Act: exhausted batteries are regarded as hazardous
waste and must not be disposed of as domestic waste. The specialist retailer where you
bought your batteries will have battery recycling containers which you can use to dispose
of them. The retailer is obliged by law to accept exhausted batteries for disposal.
