M ‑CELL lithium batteries
BEFORE COMMISSIONING
Remove the M ‑CELL battery and accessories from the transport pack and
completely remove all packaging materials. Check the contents of the product
package and its completeness. Missing or damaged parts must be immediately
claimed at the workshop.
COMMISSIONING AND USE
Connect the appliance’s power cables to the plus and minus terminals of the M
‑CELL battery. Pay attention to the correct polarity! No switching is
necessary, once both poles of the appliance are connected, the M ‑CELL battery
will supply it with current and can thus drive it. Always use a fuse between
the M ‑CELL battery and the device you want to drive via the M ‑CELL battery.
Use only high ‑quality jumper cables and connectors with sufficient diameter.
Please refer to the owner’s manual of the appliance concerned.
WARNING!
The M ‑CELL battery must never be charged and simultaneously used to
charge/power an external device. Make sure that only appliances that are
compatible with the M ‑CELL battery are connected to the battery. Check the
technical characteristics of the appliance you want to connect to the battery,
or you can ask the manufacturer directly. All M ‑CELL battery models are
equipped with under ‑discharge /overcharging protection, discharge current
control and temperature protection.
USING USB CONNECTORS
Both USB connectors, like the LCD display, are switched on via a switch. Be
careful that the COVERS OF THE USB connectors are not exposed to water
ingress, as they do not provide complete protection against its ingress.
Therefore, make sure at all times that the covers are properly fitted and that
the M ‑CELL battery is not exposed to constant rain or sinks under water. Use
a designated transport bag to minimise weather conditions and prevent
potential damage.
CHARGING
- Charge M ‑CELL batteries exclusively with original M ‑CELL chargers, which allow safe and fast charging (full charge in 5 – 6 hours).
- Loosen the screw connectors on the plus and minus terminals of the M ‑CELL battery. Then connect both charger cables, paying attention to the correct polarity. Now tighten both contacts tightly, no need for additional tools. Once the two connection cables are connected, plug the charger with the AC cable into a 230 V outlet. The charging process begins, the charger fan immediately starts and runs until the charger disconnects from the mains. You can see the current charge status on the battery LCD. When the M ‑CELL battery is fully charged, unplug the charger. The battery charge status is also indicated by the charger LED. If this one is green, the M ‑CELL battery is fully charged. Remove the charger plug from the outlet, then disconnect the connection cables from the plus and minus terminals of the M ‑CELL battery.
- You can charge the battery to full capacity or even partially.
- Before longer storage, it is optimal to charge the battery to about 60 %.
CHECKING THE M ‑CELL BATTERY CHARGE STATUS
You can check the battery charge status on the LCD. For this purpose, turn on
the LCD display using the switch on the battery.
The LCD will now display a value in % to show the battery charge status. By
pressing a small button on the LCD display, it is possible to change the
percentage data to the data in volts.
DISCHARGING
When using the battery, always respect the maximum values of the continuous /
peak current.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Before using the M ‑CELL battery for the first time, please read the following instructions carefully, even if you are intimately familiar with the use of electronic devices. Keep this operating manual carefully as a future reference. If you decide to sell / donate the M ‑CELL battery, please attach this operating manual to the product without obligation, as it is an integral part of the product.
- Always charge M ‑CELL batteries with the original charger supplied with M ‑CELL batteries!
- Connect the electric motor to the M ‑CELL battery exclusively using cable lugs that screw onto the battery contacts! Never use so ‑called crocodiles! This connection is unstable, unsuitable for carrying a lot of power and can cause irrever‑ sible damage to the battery or electric motor!
- Never put M ‑CELL batteries in series! For the operation of the 24V electric motor, use only the original M ‑CELL 24V battery!
- M ‑CELL batteries are water resistant to splashing water in all directions according to the IP54 standard! However, the batteries must never be completely flooded, immersed in water or left horizontal for a long time during heavy rains – this could cause a short circuit and irreparable damage to the faucet, or water can enter the faucet. Short circuit / flooding / water ingress damage is not covered by the warranty! We recommend that you protect the batteries with a suitable waterproof box during use in adverse conditions.
- Sources of open fire (for example, burning candles) must not be located next to or on the device.
- When using the charger, the safety instructions given in the operating instructions must be followed.
- The device must never be covered. Covered devices can very easily overheat and there is a risk of fire. In the event of a fire, use a type D fire extinguisher with foam or CO².
- Follow the recommendations on ambient temperatures during use, charging and storage provided in the technical information. Please note that when stored / transported in a passenger car, temperatures can easily exceed +45 °C, especially behind the windscreen or behind the rear window of the luggage compartment.
- Never attempt to open or remove the battery.
- Discharging too deeply will seriously damage the lithium ‑ion battery and can even be dangerous.
- If a lithium ‑ion battery is charged after discharge below the cut ‑off voltage level, or when the battery is damaged or overcharged, it can release a harmful gas mixture such as phosphate. Failure to follow the operating instructions, repairs made with non ‑original parts, or repairs made without authorisation will result in the void of the warranty.
- Ensure sufficient and safe installation and always use appropriate handling equipment for transport. Handle the battery with care, as Li ‑ion batteries are sensitive to mechanical shocks.
- Always touch all cables only on the connectors (plugs) and never pull the cable itself. Never place pieces of furniture or other heavy objects on cables and make sure they do not fold, especially with connectors and connecting sockets. Never knot on cables and tie them together with other cables. All cables should be laid so that no one can step on them or get in the way.
MAINTENANCE
- Do not expose the device to a source of direct heat (for example, heating) or strong artificial light that can heat it.
- Do not expose the device to the risk of sinking / flooding. (do not place containers of liquids or beverages on or next to the apparatus.
- Do not place the device near strong magnetic fields (for example, speakers).
- Do not expose the device to sharp changes in temperature. Condensed air humidity could lead to a short circuit. As soon as the device has been exposed to a sharp change in temperature, wait (about 2 hours) for commissioning for the device to fully accept the ambient temperature.
- Do not expose the device to any excessive shock and vibration.
- Protect the USB connector cover against water ingress. The USB cover does not provide waterproofing. Therefore, make sure that the cover is properly fitted and that the M ‑CELL battery does not stand in constant direct rain or sink under water.
- A repair/service check is always desirable if the M ‑CELL battery has been damaged, for example if the device cover has been damaged or a liquid or foreign object has got inside the M ‑CELL battery. Repair is also required if the M ‑CELL is not working properly or if the battery has fallen. If the battery starts to smoke or if it produces unusual sounds or odours, imme‑ diately disconnect all wiring or unplug the charger. If possible, leave the battery at a safe distance from flammable objects for at least 2 hours without further handling. If the situation described above occurs, the M ‑CELL battery must not be used further until it has been tested by a specialist service representative. Service work and repairs should be carried out only by qualified personnel. Clean the M ‑CELL battery only with a clean, dry cloth, never using aggressive fluids. Do not attempt to open the battery cover. Otherwise, the product warranty will be forfeited. There is a constant danger of electric shock.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
The device must never be thrown into the fire or mechanically deformed,
otherwise the battery may explode. Be careful to limit or prohibit use of
battery-powered devices in places with an extraordinary degree of danger, such
as gas stations, airplanes, hospitals, etc.

PRODUCT USAGE
- Place the charger on a flat surface and check that the ventilation holes are not covered.
- Check the connection of the network cable to the charger and make sure that the plug is inserted correctly.
- Connect the charger’s power connectors to the battery. Then connect the charger to the mains using the mains cable. Strictly respect the polarity (the contacts on the battery and the cables with the eyelets are colour ‑coded).
- The charger uses intelligent charging using the CC ‑CV method, which ensures a quick charge to about 75 % capacity and subsequent gentle recharging to 100 %. Once the battery is fully charged, charging is automatically turned off.
- The approximate time of full battery charge is 5‑6 hours.
- A red LED indicates that the battery is charging. The illumination of the green DIODE indicates that the battery is fully charged.
- Chargers have an automatic shutdown function without the risk of overcharging. When the battery is fully charged. the charger turns off automatically (this protects the battery from overcharging).
- When disconnecting the battery, first disconnect one charging wire from the battery, and then disconnect the charger from the mains. Finally, disconnect the second wire from the battery. This procedure will prevent accidental contact of both charging connectors (short circuit) while the charger is plugged in.
