HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Do not short circuit the battery. Avoid subjecting the battery to a short circuit, as doing so
generates a very high current, resulting in overheating, electrolyte gel leakage, harmful fumes,
explosion risk, or other damage to the battery.
Mechanical shock. Dropping, impacting, striking, or bending the unit, or subjecting the unit to any
other types of mechanical shock may cause failure or shortend life of the battery.
Do not disassemble the batteries. Never disassemble the batteries, as doing so may result in
an internal short circuit in the battery, leading to fire, explosion, release of harmful fumes, or other
hazards. Electrolyte gel is harmful, and contact should be avoided whenever possible. Should the
electrolyte gel come into contact with the skin or eyes, flush the area of contact immediately with
fresh water and seek medical attention immediately.
Do not expose battery to heat or fire. Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in fire, as this
could result in an explosion.
Do not exposre the battery to water or liquids. Never expose or immerse the batteries in liquids of
any type, including water, seawater, soft drinks, juices, coffee, or other beverages.
Battery Replacement. For battery replacement please contact customer support.
Never use a damaged battery. Shipping carries a risk of damage to the battery. Should damage be
observed, including damage to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the battery package,
chemical or electrolyte odor, or leakage of the electrolyte gel, or any other miscellaneous damage,
DO NOT use the battery. A battery with a odor of electrolyte or a gel leakage should be placed away
from fire to avoid risk of fire or explosion.
Battery Storage. The battery should be stored at room temperature, with a charge of at least 50%.
During long periods of storage, it is recommended that the battery be charged every 6 months. Doing
so will prolong the life of the battery and will also make sure that the battery charge does not fall
below the 30% mark.
Other Chemical Reactions. Because batteries rely on a chemical reaction to work, battery
performance will deteriorate over time, even if stored for a long period of time without being used. In
addition, if various usage conditions (such as charge, discharge, ambient temperature, etc.) are not
maintained within the specified ranges, the life expectancy of the battery maybe shortened or the
device in which the battery is used may be damaged by electrolyte gel leakage. If the batteries cannot
maintain a charge for long periods of time, even when they are charged correctly, this may indicate
the need to replace the battery.
Battery Disposal. Please dispose of battery according to local regulations.
