BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
1. Handling of Batteries
1.1 Do Not Short Circuit the Battery
Never short circuit the battery, as doing so generates a very high current which could cause the bat-
tery to overheat, potentially resulting in electrolyte gel leakage, harmful fumes, or explosion. The LIR
tabs can be easily short-circuit when placed on a conductive surface. A short circuit may lead to heat
build up and battery damage. An appropriate circuitry with PCM is employed to protect against acci-
dental short circuit of the battery pack.
1.2 Mechanical shock
Dropping the unit, impacts, bending, etc. may cause failure or shortend life of the LIR battery.
2. Other
2.1 Battery connection
•
Direct soldering of wire leads or devices to the battery is strictly prohibited.
•
Lead tabs with pre-soldered wiring shall be spot welded to the batteries. Direct soldering may
cause heat buildup, which can damage components, such as the separator and the insulator.
2.2 Prevention of short circuit within a battery pack
There is enough insulation layers between wiring and the batteries to provide extra safety protec-
tion. The battery pack is constructed in such a way as to prevent any short circuit that could result in
smoke or fire.
2.3 Do Not Disassemble the Batteries
•
Never disassemble the batteries. Doing so may cause an internal short circuit in the battery, which
can result in harmful fumes, fire, explosion, or other hazards.
•
Electrolyte Gel is harmful! Electrolyte Gel should not leak from the LIR battery. Should the electro-
lyte gel come into contact with the skin or eyes, flush the area of contact immediately with fresh
water and seek medical attention immediately.
2.4 Do Not Expose the Battery to Heat or Fire
Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in fire. Doing so creates a serious explosion risk!
2.5 Do Not Expose the Battery to water or liquids
Never soak/drop the batteries in liquids, including fresh water, seawater, soft drinks, juices, coffee or
other beverages.
2.6 Battery Replacement
For battery replacement please contact ADJ customer support (323) 582-2650.
2.7 Do Not use a damaged Battery
Inspect the battery for damage that may have occurred during shipping. In the event that damage is
present, including but not limited to damage to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the
battery package, the presence of an electrolyte odor, or leakage of the electrolyte gel, DO NOT use
the battery. A battery with a odor of electrolyte or a gel leakage should be placed away from fire to
avoid fire or explosion.
