Battery Safety Precautions
-
If you observe any abnormal symptom, such as strange smell and overheating, on first use after purchasing the product, contact your local dealer immediately.
-
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.
-
Do not use or leave the battery in a location exposed to high temperatures or intense direct sunlight, such as within an automobile. Doing so can cause battery overheating and/or combustion. In addition, battery performance and product life may be reduced.
-
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.
-
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. -
Do not use the battery if it is damaged or the exterior is deformed due to external shock or if it is swollen.
