WARNING!
Replace the battery immediately if it is damaged.
• Use the specified charger only.
• Must be disposed of properly.
• Always store the battery in well ventilated areas where it is out of the reach of children and away from heat and
ignition sources.
• Do not incinerate, disassemble, damage, short-circuit or expose to heat.
• The battery contains safety and protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat,
rupture or ignite.
• Do not place the battery in fire, direct sunlight or apply heat to the battery; it may explode or leak.
• Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight or use or store the battery inside high temperature containers. Doing so
may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss
of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
• Do not place the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high temperature locations.
• DO NOT THROW WATER ON A BURNING LI-ION BATTERY. If an exposed battery does ignite, it will burn even
more violently if it comes into contact with water or even the moisture in air. A fire extinguisher must be used.
• Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
• Do not subject the battery to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise damage the outer casing.
• MUST re-charge the battery after EACH USE.
• MUST re-charge the battery at least EVERY SIX MONTHS when not in use.
• ALWAYS REMOVE the Battery from the seascooter FOR STORAGE.
• Never leave Lithium-Ion batteries discharged for long - the batteries do self-discharge and the charge could drop low enough to damage the
battery.
• Keep Lithium-Ion batteries away from high heat - high temperatures may cause premature battery failure.
• ALWAYS store Lithium-Ion batteries partially discharged in a cool, dry place.
