1.3 General Warnings

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD

• A lithium battery must be installed as specified.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• If the battery case has been damaged, do not touch exposed contents.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD

Do not lay tools or other metal parts on the battery or across the terminals.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Do not touch the energized surfaces of any electrical component in the battery system.
• Before servicing the battery, follow all procedures to fully de-energize the battery system.
• Follow the “Safe Handling Procedures” below when working with the battery.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury.

1.4 Safe Handling Procedures

Before using the battery and any power electronics, please read all instructions and cautionary markings on all components and appropriate sections of their manuals.

• Use personal protective equipment when working with batteries.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.
• Promptly dispose of or recycle used batteries following local regulations.
• Do not disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred.
• Do not modify, re-manufacture, or attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose the battery to water, other liquids, fire, explosion, or other hazards. If the user suspects damage to the battery due to water, heat, or other reason, take it to a service center for inspection.
• Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.
• Do not lift or carry the battery while in operation.
• When lifting a heavy battery, follow the appropriate standards.
• Only lift, move, or mount following local regulations.
• Take care when handling battery terminals and cabling.
• Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified for the system. Using a battery or charger that does not meet specifications may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazards.
• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals.
• Replace the battery only with another one qualified for the system. Using an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazards.
• Avoid dropping the device or battery. If the device or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.

1.5 Personal Protective Equipment

When handling or working near a battery:

• Use Personal Protective Equipment, including clothing, glasses, insulated gloves, and boots.
• Do not wear metal rings, watches, bracelets, or necklaces.
