It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a year). The
ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section "Protecting the
environment".
Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal
directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited and an intense
current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture or fire.
Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100°C (212°F), sealing and insulating separators and
other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or internal short
circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not dispose of the
batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the battery,
proceed as follows:
Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
•
Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
•
In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult a physician.
.
Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do not incinerate
the battery.
