Do not try to make any repairs or servicing of lithium batteries. Replacement of parts is not assumed. Risk of electric shock and burning The battery’s charging and discharging connectors have open terminals, avoid any body contacts, contamination or direct contacts with objects which can cause short circuit connection of terminals.
Page 23
Do not charge a fully charged battery Note that in order to prevent the battery from continuing restart of charging under fully charged condition causing reduction of battery lifetime, the BMS has a protection function that prohibits recharging of fully charged battery. The charger will not work while battery is fully charged.
