Battery Safety Safety Warnings for Battery • Charge a rechargeable battery unit using only the charger supplied by the manufacturer.

Battery Safety Safety Warnings for Battery • Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural ageing process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
