Battery Hazards (Li-ion)
The batteries are replaceable.
• Remove leaked deformed or corroded batteries from the
product and dispose them by appropriate protectives.
• Adapt protective equipment to work requirements.
Batteries can be damaged and leaked if they are not used as
intended.
• Do not deform, burn, disassemble the battery.
• Do not short-circuit the battery or immerse it in liquids.
There is a risk of:
• Explosion
• Fire
• Heat
• Fumes or gas emission
• Do not expose the battery to heat in the form of sunshine,
heat, or fire.
Extreme heat may cause explosion and/or leaking of corrosive
liquid. Mechanical damage can result in gaseous substances
which can be highly irritating, combustible or toxic.
• Ensure that the battery is charged sufficiently prior to use
each time.
• Prevent the battery from contacting with any liquid. Never
immerse the battery in water or let it get wet. Never use the
battery in a rainy or wet environment. Otherwise, users shall
account for the damage or loss caused by the spontaneous
combustion or explosion of the battery in contact with the
liquid.
• Immediately remove the battery out of the water when it has
been fallen into by accident. Place it in a safe, open area,
and keep away until completely dry. Do not use the dried
battery again, but dispose it as described in chapter
“Disposal instructions”.
• If the battery catches fire, immediately use sand, fire blanket,
dry powder and carbon dioxide extinguisher to extinguish the
fire and prevent an explosion of the battery. Please choose
fire-extinguishing media in the order above according to the
actual conditions.
• Use only the supplied battery.
• Never use or charge the battery with bulges, leakage or
damage.
• Do not use the battery giving off heat (battery temperature
higher than 160°F (71°C)) or involving deformation,
discoloration or other unusual phenomenon.
If the battery is abnormal, please contact [e-mail]
for further treatment.
• Use the battery only in the operating temperature range
specified in chapter “Specifications”.
Temperatures higher than 50°C will cause the battery to catch
fire and even explode, and temperatures lower than -20°C will
seriously damage the battery.
