DANGER
• Use only the specified charger and observe charging
requirements!
If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high
temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or current
over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may overcharge
or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an
instrument, or step on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke,
rupture, and/or burst into flame. If the battery's protection circuit is
damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal current (or voltage),
and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is
damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst
into flame.
• Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may
occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount of current may flow
upon discharging. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into flame.
Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
•
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack
does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment,
do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is
reverse-connected to the charger, it will be reverse-charged and an
abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat
or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
