Battery Packs And Case; Battery Charging - Icom IC-A15 Instruction Manual

■ Battery charging

Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the following
hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse
can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of bat-
tery performance.
D Battery caution
R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-
tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted
or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy
pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside
of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show
cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may
rupture or catch fire.
R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas
with temperatures above +60°C. High temperature buildup in
the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside
a sun heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long periods of
time may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Exces-
sive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or
shorten battery life.
R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,
seawater, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet
battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using. The battery is not waterproof.
