Battery Precautions

1. Handling of Batteries
1.1 Do Not Short Circuit the Battery
Try to never short circuit the battery. It generates a very high current which could cause the battery
to overheat which may result in electrolyte gel leakage, harmful fumes, or explosion. The LIR tabs
may easily short-circuit by placing them on conductive surface. A short circuit may lead to heat build
up and damage of the battery. An appropriate circuitry with PCM is employed to protect accidental
short circuit of the battery pack.
1.2 Mechanical shock
Droping the unit, impact hit, bending, etc. may cause failure or shortend life of the LIR battery.
3. Other
3.1 Battery connection
1). Direct soldering of wire leads or devices to the battery is strictly prohibited.
2). Lead tabs with pre-soldered wiring shall be spot welded to the batteries. Direct soldering may
cause damage of components, such as separator and insulator, by heat build up.
3.2 Prevention of short circuit within a battery pack
There is enough insulation layers between wiring and the batteries to provide extra safety protection.
The battery pack is constructed in a way that no short circuit will occur which may cause smoke or
fire.
3.3 Do No Disassemble the Batteries
1). Never disassemble the batteries.
Doing this may cause a internal short circuit in the battery, which may lead to harmful fumes, fire,
explosion, or other problems.
2). Electrolyte Gel is harmful
Electrolyte Gel should not leak from the LIR battery. Should the electrolyte gel come into contact
with the skin or eyes, flush the area of contact immediately with fresh water and seek medical atten-
tion immediately.
3.4 Do Not Expose the Battery to Heat or Fire
Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in fire. This may cause an explosion, which would be
very dangerous.
3.5 Do Not Expose the Battery to water or liquids
Never soak/drop the batteries in liquids such as water, seawater, drinks such as soft drinks, juices,
coffee or other.
3.6 Battery Replacement
For battery replacement please contact ADJ customer support (800) 322-6337.
3.7 Do Not use a damaged Battery
The battery could be damaged during shipping, caused by shock. Should the battery be found dam-
aged, including damages to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the battery package,
smelling of an electrolyte, or leakage of the electrolyte gel, or other, DO NOT use the battery. A bat-
tery with a odor of electrolyte or a gel leakage should be placed away from fire to avoid fire or explo-
sion.
