General
WARNING! When cleaning the product, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not wet the exposed metal parts of the battery. Do not use solvents, detergents or scouring agents.
CAUTION! All Lithium-ion batteries have a finite life. Ifthe battery exhibits noticeably shortened run-time the battery should be replaced immediately. Shortened run-time is indicative of at least one cell, which has reached end of life. Under no Circumstances attempt to “recondition” this battery by repeated charging and discharging.
WARNING! This battery contains specialized electronic circuits, which are designed to protect the Lithium-ion cells from over-charge, over discharge and overcurrent. Redundant protection devices are designed to operate if the battery voltage is abnormally high or low and if the temperature of the battery exceeds operating specifications.
WARNING! Do not drop, puncture or crush this battery. Do not use the battery if the case is damaged or broken. Do not open or attempt to service this battery if damaged.
WARNING! These electronic devices can be damaged if the battery is subject to abuse or damage. Do not use a battery that has been subjected to excessive mechanical shock or water damage.
Storage
CAUTION! Keep batteries cool or at room temperatures whenever possible. Sustained elevated temperatures are the primary reason for premature failure of Lithium-Ion batteries.
CAUTION! Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm climates keep chargers in air conditioned rooms for best performance.
CAUTION! Although Lithium-ion has good selfdischarge characteristics, batteries should be stored for long term storage in a fully charged condition.
CAUTION! Batteries should always be stored in a fully charged state and kept cool. If batteries must be stored for a long period (over 30 days), the battery electronics will enter a “deep sleep” mode. The battery will “wake up” when placed on a charger. It is always a good idea to submit the battery to a discharge/charge cycle from time to time during storage.

accessories as needed with a damp, non-saturated cloth or paper towel. Do not
wet the exposed metal part of the battery charge terminals. Do not use
solvents or scouring agents. Example s of approved solvents are Cidex® and
Windex®. Consult Anton/Bauer Customer Support Group for approved list of
cleaning agents.
Periodic cleaning of both the charger terminals and battery terminals will
ensure continued reliable operation. Clean the terminals occasionally with a
pencil eraser or lightly scrape the surface with a blunt instrument to help
reduce the likely hood of buildup causing poor communication or charging
Contact Anton/Bauer Customer Support Group with additional inquires as to maintenance.
