PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING VALVE-REGULATED LEAD-ACID BATTERIES-

5. Method of use

DANGER

(1) The batteries must be charged using the

specified charger or by maintaining the charging

conditions indicated by Panasonic. If the

batteries are charged under conditions other

than those specified by Panasonic, they may

leak, ignite or explode.

(2) Do not connect the (+) and (-) terminals of the

battery to each other with a metallic material

such as wire; do not allow tools such as pipe

wrenches and wrenches to touch points of

different voltages on the battery; and do not

bring metallic necklaces or hair pins into contact

with the battery or store them together with the

battery. Failure to observe these precautions

may cause the battery to overheat, emit hydro

gen gas, leak, ignite, or burst.

WARNING

(1) Do not throw the battery in fire nor heat the

battery. The battery may burst or generate a

toxic gas if placed in contact with fire.

(2) Do not attempt to disassemble, remodel or

destroy the battery, as it may cause battery

leakage, fire or bursting, and could also create

sulfuric acid spills from the battery resulting in

possible burns to personnel and damage to the

immediate environment.

CAUTION

(1) Check the battery for any sign of irregularities in

appearance. If there is any damage to the

battery case/cover such as cracks, deformation

or leakage, replace the battery with a new one. If

the battery appears dirty or dusty, clean it. If a

battery of irregular appearance continues to be

used, decrease of capacity, leakage of

electricity, fumes, ignition or other problems

may result.

(2) If any irregularity is found in areas such as the

charge voltage and discharge characteristics of

the battery, replace it.

This information is generally descriptive only and is not intended to make or imply any representation, guarantee or warranty with respect to any cells and batteries. Cell and battery designs/specifications are subject

to modification without notice. Contact Panasonic for the latest information.

(3) For safety, make sure to observe the following:

Otherwise, leakage, ignition or an explosion of the

battery may occur.

1) Do not charge the battery with its (+) and (-)

terminals and the (+) and (-) terminals of the

charger connected in reverse.

2) Do not apply a solder directly to the battery

terminals. If direct soldering is unavoidable,

please contact Panasonic in advance.

3) Avoid mixed usage of batteries differing in type,

manufacturer or history of use.

4) Do not remove or damage the outer case of

the battery.

5) Do not apply strong shocks or jolts to the

battery.

(4) Do not continue to charge the battery beyond the

time specified in the instructions of use of the

charger. If the battery is not fully charged even after

being charged for a longer time than specified,

discontinue charging and remove the battery from

the charger. Charging for a longer time than

specified may cause the battery to leak, ignite or

burst.

(5) Do not discharge the batteries beyond the

maximum values indicated in the specifications. If

the batteries are discharged beyond the maximum

values, they may leak, ignite or explode.

(6) Children should only use the battery under the

guidance of an adult who should thoroughly

instruct the child on its use. During use the adult

should check that the battery is used exactly as

instructed.

Keep the battery beyond the reach of small children.

During charging or actual use of the battery, take

caution not to allow small children to remove the

battery from equipment.
