Battery Safety Guidelines

Batter y Use
1.Prevent the batteries to come into contact with any kind of liquid. Do not leave batteries
out in the rain or near a source of moisture. Do not drop the battery into water. If the inside
of the batter y comes into contact with water, chemical decomposition may occur,
potentially resulting in the battery catching on fire, and may even lead to an explosion.
2.If the battery falls into water with the stabilizer during use, take it out immediately and put
it in a safe and open area. Maintain a safe distance from the battery until it is completely dry.
Never use the battery again, and dispose of the battery properly as described in the Battery
Disposal section below.
3.If the battery catches fire, use water, water spray, sand, fire blanket, dry powder, or carbon
dioxide fire extinguisher immediately to put out the fire. Please extinct the fire by applying
the methods recommended above according to the actual situation.
4.Never use non-ZHIYUN batteries. If replacement or backup is needed, please purchase
new batteries from ZHIYUN's official website or authorized channels. ZHIYUN takes no
responsibility for any damage caused by non-ZHIYUN batteries.
5.Never use or charge swollen, leaky, or damaged batteries. Never use or charge if the
battery smells, or overheats (exceeding maximum temperature of 160°F / 71°C). If your
batteries are abnormal, contact ZHIYUN or a ZHIYUN authorized dealer for further
assistance.
6.The battery should be used within the temperature range from -10°C to 50°C. Use the
battery in environments above 50°C can lead to a fire or explosion. Use of battery below -
10°C can lead to serious battery damage.
7.Do not use the batter y in strong electrostatic or electromagnetic environments.
Otherwise, the battery protection board may malfunction.
8.Do not disassemble or use any sharp object to puncture the battery in any way. Otherwise,
the battery may leak, catch fire or explode.
9.Do not mechanically strike, crush, or throw the battery. Do not place heavy objects on the
battery or charger.
10.Electrolytes inside the battery are highly corrosive. In case of accidental contact of any
electrolytes with your skin or eyes, rinse immediately with water for at least 15 minutes and
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
11.Do not use the battery if it has been involved in a crash or heavy impact.
12.Do not heat the battery and never put the battery in a microwave oven or in a pressurized
container.

13.Do not place the batter y cell on a conductive surface (such as a metal desk surface).
14.Prevent use of wires or other metal objects that could cause positive and negative
short-circuit to the batter y.
15.If the batter y terminal is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dr y cloth. Other wise it will cause a
bad batter y connection, which may result in energy loss or charging failure.
Batter y Charging
1.Do not attach the batteries to a wall outlet or car charger socket directly. Always use a
ZHIYUN approved adapter for charging. ZHIYUN takes no responsibility if the batter y is
charged using a non-ZHIYUN charger.
2.Do not put the batter y and charger near flammable materials or on flammable surfaces
(such as carpet or wood). Never leave the batter y unattended during charging to prevent
any accident.
3.Do not charge the batter y immediately after use, because the batter y temperature may
be too high. Do not charge the batter y until it cools down to normal room temperature.
Charging the batter y with its temperature over 40°C or lower than 15°C may lead to
leakage, overheating, or damage.
4.Examine the charger before use, make sure there is no damage to the enclosure, cord,
plug, or other parts. Never use a damaged charger. Do not clean the charger with any liquid
containing alcohol or other flammable solvents. Disconnect the charger when not in use.
Batter y Storage
1.Keep batteries out of the reach of children and pets.
2.Do not leave the batter y near heat sources such as a furnace or heater, or inside of a
vehicle on hot days. Never expose the batter y in any environment with temperature of over
60°C. The ideal storage temperature is 22°C-28°C.
3.Store batteries in a dr y environment.
4.Do not leave the batter y unused for too long after it has been completely discharged to
prevent over-discharge of batter y which may result in batter y damage and permanent
failure.
Batter y Maintenance
1.Never use the batter y when the temperature is too high or too low.
2.Do not store the batter y in any environment with a temperature of over 60°C.
