28.3.2 Use/Discharge
WARNING
Do not discharge a LIB by using any device except a MAXAIR Helmet.
The temperature range over which a LIB is to be discharged is 0
ture range may damage the performance and reduce the life expectancy of the LIB.
CAUTION
When the LIB has reached its usual and customary useful life (See 28.3.6) -
Immediately discontinue use of the LIB and replace it.
Insulate the connection terminals with adhesive tape or similar material before disposal.
28.3.3 Charge
WARNING
Always use a MAXAIR charger when charging a LIB; never use any other type of charger for a MAXAIR LIB.
Never connect a LIB to any device other than a MAXAIR helmet or a MAXAIR charger.
Never charge a LIB outside the temperature range of 0
outside of this range may cause the battery to become hot or damaged. Charging the LIB outside of this temperature
range may also harm the performance of the LIB or reduce the LIBs life expectancy. When the LIB becomes hot, the
built-in safety equipment is activated, preventing charging further. Additional heating can destroy the safety equip-
ment and can cause accelerated temperature increases, ignition, or other damage to the LIB.
Do not continue charging the LIB if it does not recharge within the maximum charging time. (See 28.3.8) Doing so may
cause the LIB to become hot, rupture, or ignite.
Always charge in an isolated area, away from flammable materials.
When charging LIBs, always monitor the charging process and react to potential problems that may occur.
28.3.4 Store
WARNING
Store in closed containers and packaging that prevent short circuits and damage during storage or transportation.
In case of mixed storage of goods and articles, organize separate storage areas for LIBs, for example, by maintaining a
distance of 2.5 meters between the LIB storage area and other goods.
Store in limited quantities and in isolated area with frequent surveillance.
Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place, within the recommended storage temperature range of

Perform a boost charge and LIB Check Procedure (Appendix B.) every 3 to 6 months; this will help prevent the potential
of an over-discharge.
28.3.5 Handling and Transport
Lithium-Ion batteries are classified as Dangerous Goods for the Transport by Road/Rail, Sea and Air. When considering trans-
porting LIBs to other locations, conform to the requirements of the UN Regulation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.
Internal transfer of Lithium-Ion batteries should follow the minimum safety rules imposed by the local legislation/regulation re-
garding the handling of Dangerous Goods.
When handling LIBs, use caution, specifically to avoid shorting the connector terminals.
WARNING
Do not exceed the temperature range of 0
Do not expose battery packs to direct sunlight and/or heat for extended periods.
