Section Ⅸ-Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Storage:
Store in a cool place, but prevent condensation on cell or battery terminals. Elevated
temperatures may result in reduced battery life. Optimum storage temperatures are
between -35
°F and 35°F.
Mechanical Containment:
If there are special encapsulation or sealing requirements, consult your Jiangsu
Highstar Chemical Power Source Co.,Ltd. representative about possible cell hazard
precautions or limitations.
Handling:
Accidental short circuit will bring high temperature elevation to the battery as well as
shorten the battery life. Be sure to avoid prolonged short circuit since the heat can burn
attendant skin and even rupture the battery cell case. Batteries packaged in bulk
containers should not be shaken. Metal covered tables or belts used for assembly of
batteries into devices can be the source of short circuits, apply insulating material to
assembly work surface.
Soldering/welding:
If soldering or welding to the case of the battery is required, consult your Jiangsu
Highstar Chemical Power Source Co.,Ltd. representative for proper precautions to
prevent seal damage or external short circuit.
Charging
This battery is designed for recharging. A loss of voltage and capacity of batteries due
to self-discharge during prolonged storage is unavoidable. Charge battery before use.
Observe the specified charge rate since higher rates can cause a rise in internal gas
pressure which may result in damaging heat generation or cell rupture and or venting.
Section X- Recycling and Disposal
HIGHSTAR encourages battery recycling. Our Nickel Cadmium batteries are recyclable through
the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation’s (RBRC) Charge Up to Recycle Program. For
information call 1-800-8-BATTERY or see their website at www.rbrc.org
. Ni-Cd batteries must be
handled in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
DO NOT INCINERATE or subject battery cells to temperatures in excess of 100
°F. Such
treatment can vaporize the liquid electrolyte causing cell rupture. Incineration may
result in cadmium emissions.
