Battery Safety Precautions

Make sure to review the user manual carefully prior to product use.
Neglecting to heed the following instructions can result in battery overheating, combustion, explosion, damage and/or decline in performance and product life.

Danger

  1. Do not allow water, seawater or moisture to enter or leak into the battery. If the safety mechanism within the battery becomes oxidized, the battery may overcharge with abnormal electrical current and/or voltage so that it may overheat, ignite and/or explode.
  2. Do not place the battery near open flames or heating devices, such as stoves. Exposure to excessive heat may cause damage to the resin case and/or insulating materials, thus causing a short circuit within the battery that may result in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
  3. Charge the battery only with the exclusive charger specified (optionally provided) by BIXOLON. The use of an incorrect charger may result in overheating, combustion and/or explosion of the battery.
  4. Charging the battery with a modified charger may result in overheating, combustion and/or explosion of the battery by abnormal chemical reaction caused by incorrect polarity.
  5. Do not directly connect the battery to an electrical power outlet not specified by BIXOLON or an automobile’s cigarette lighter jack. Doing so may result in overheating, combustion and/or explosion of the battery by over-current and/or over-voltage.
  6. Do not heat the battery or place it near a fire. Doing so may melt insulation materials, damage the safety mechanism/equipment, and/or ignite the electrolytic solution. There is a potential risk of battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
  7. Do not reverse the connection of (+) and (-) electrodes of the battery. Charging the battery in reverse polarity may produce an undesired chemical reaction inside the tery cell, causing unexpected behavior during discharging such as overheating, explosion, or fire.
  8. Do not allow the battery’s (+) or (-) pole to come into contact with any metal. In addition, do not carry or store the battery with metallic items, such as necklaces and hairpins. Doing so may cause a short circuit of the battery generating an over-current. There is the potential risk to overheat, ignite and/or explode the battery or overheat the metallic items, such as necklaces, hair pins etc.
  9. Do not throw the battery or subject it to strong shock. If the safety mechanism in the battery is damaged, the battery may be overcharged and, consequently, an adverse chemical reaction may be generated in the battery. There is a potential risk of battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
  10. Do not pierce the battery with a pointed object, such as nail or awl, or strike with a heavy object, such as a hammer, and take care not to step on the battery. There is a potential risk of battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion caused by an internal short circuit.
  11. Do not solder the battery directly. Doing so may melt the insulating materials and/or damage the safety mechanism or safety equipment, resulting in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
  12. Do not disassemble and/or modify the battery. The battery contains safety equipment and a safety mechanism to prevent danger. There is a potential risk of overheating, combustion, and/or explosion caused by disassembly.
  13. Do not charge the battery near open flames and/or under direct sunlight. Because exposure to high temperatures triggers the operation of the safety mechanism, the battery may not charge or may overcharge due to destruction of the safety mechanism. There is a potential risk of overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
  14. Do not expose the battery to high temperatures over 60 oC, and do not use or store it in a hot or humid place.
  15. Do not use the battery if it is damaged or the exterior is deformed due to external shock or if it is swollen.

  3. Do not combine and use any battery of different capacity and/or type with the primary battery. Doing so can cause excessive electrical discharge during use or excessive charging during charging, resulting in an abnormal chemical reaction within the battery that can cause battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
  4. If during battery usage, storage, or charging, a strange odor or conditions differing from the normal, such as overheating, color changes, warping, etc., are detected, remove the battery from the product or charger and discontinue use. Continued use may cause battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
  5. When recharging, if the battery is not charged after the normal fixed charging time, discontinue charging. Continued charging can result in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
  6. If the battery appears to be coated with condensation or emits a strange odor, immediately place it far away from any heat source. The condensation may be caused by a leak of electrolytic solution that can ignite to cause battery combustion and/or explosion.
  7. If the battery is leaking electrolytic solution and any of the solution enters the eyes, immediately wash out with clean water, and then consult a physician to receive treatment. Neglecting to do so can cause permanent eye injuries.

Caution
