Recharge the stored battery pack every six months or every year.
Otherwise a decrease in battery capacity or other problems may
result.
Do not use or subject the battery to intense sunlight or hot
temperatures such as in a car in hot weather. Otherwise,
electrolyte leakage, overheating and/or smoke emission can
occur. Also, its guaranteed performance will be lost and/or its
service life will be shortened.
Dispose of properly.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery is
equipped with built-in safety/protection features. Should these
features be disabled, the battery can leak electrolyte, overheat,
emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
Be careful not to drop the battery pack. The patient may be
injured.
Do not touch the terminal of the battery pack directly. There is a
risk of electric shock.
Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with
a metal object such as wire. Do not transport or store the battery
together with metal objects such as necklaces, hair pins, etc.
Otherwise, short-circuiting will occur, over-current will flow,
causing the battery to leak electrolyte, overheat, emit smoke,
burst and/or ignite, or the metal object such as wire, necklace or
hair pin can generate heat.
Do not discard the battery into fire or heat it. Otherwise, its
insulation can melt down, its gas release vent or safety features
will be damaged and/or its electrolyte can ignite, possibly
leading to electrolyte leakage, overheating, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition on it.
Do not use or leave the battery near a heat source such as a fire
or a heater (+80ºC or higher). If the resin separator should be
damaged owing to overheating, internal short-circuiting may
occur to the battery, possibly leading to electrolyte leakage,
smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition of the battery.
Do not immerse the battery in water or seawater and do not
allow it to get wet. Otherwise, the protective features in it can be
damaged, it can be charged with extremely high current and
voltage, abnormal chemical reactions may occur in it, possibly
leading to electrolyte leakage, smoke emission, bursting and/or
ignition.
Do not pierce the battery with a nail or other sharp objects,
strike it with a hammer, or step on it. otherwise, the battery will
become damaged and deformed, internal short-circuiting can
occur, possibly leading to electrolyte leakage, overheating,
smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
