Battery Handling and Storage

1. Please leave the lithium battery stored with the remaining battery of 50-60% if not using it for a long period of time. And we recommend you charge the battery every 3 months and discharge it every 6 months.
2. Please do not store the battery with metal objects such as coins, keys, or necklaces. If the battery terminals come close to metal objects, fire may be caused due to a short circuit.
3. Keep the battery away from wet or moist places, and protect it from damage caused by squeezing or collision.
4. Please do not use or store the battery in high temperatures, such as in direct sunlight or a hot compartment. The battery will heat up, malfunction, or have its service life shortened in these conditions.
5. Please do not use or store the battery in low-temperature environments as this will shorten the battery life or cause malfunction to the battery.
6. Please do not put the battery in any places with strong static and magnetic fields, otherwise, the battery protection unit is likely to be destroyed, which causes safety risks.
7. Please stop using the battery and remove the battery from the camera or the battery charger at once if it stinks, heats up, discolors, distorts, or if there is anything wrong with the battery while working, charging, or in store.
8. Please wrap up the obsolete electrode with insulation paper in case of fire or explosion.
9. Please do not throw the battery into the fire in case of an explosion.
