Protect the battery against heat, e.g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, debris, water,
max.50°C
and moisture. Danger of explosion and short-
circuiting.
Operate and store the battery only at ambient temper-
atures between -20 °C and +50 °C. As an example, do
not leave the battery in a vehicle in summer. At tem-
peratures < 0 °C, machine-specific performance
restrictions are possible.
Charge the battery only at ambient temperatures
between 0 °C and +35 °C. Charge the battery via USB
connection only at ambient temperatures between
+10 °C and +35 °C. Charging the battery outside the
temperature range may damage the battery or increase
the risk of fire.
Handle discharged batteries with care. Batteries are a
source of danger, as they can cause a very high short-
circuit current. Even when Li-ion batteries appear to
be in a discharged state, they never fully discharge.
Do not immerse the battery in liquids, such as (salt)
water or beverages. Contact with liquids can damage
the battery. This may result in heat build-up, smoke
generation, ignition or explosion of the battery. Do
not continue to use the battery and contact an after-
sales service authorized by FEIN.
