•When using the battery, the input voltage/temperature range must conform to specifications, otherwise it can cause damage.

•Do not place in environments with high temperatures, humidity, dust or corrosive elements.

•Do not cover-up the battery while charging it. Otherwise, it can cause damage/deformation/scalding, etc.

•When the battery is fully-charged, please remove it from the charger and remove the charger plug from the power socket.

•Under the stipulated storage conditions, if the storage time is greater than 6 months, it will need to be charged at least 2 hours, otherwise, it may

shorten the service life.

Battery Safety

•Activation: Activate every three months, Activate with charger and machine (charge-discharge-charge).

•Storage and transportation: If the battery pack is stored for more than three months, Battery packs should be stored at low temperatures, in a dry

place. The transportation process should avoid any violent vibrations, impacts, exposure to sun and rain, etc.

•When the battery is not in use, please remove it from the device.

•Keep the battery clean and dry.

•The two-cell battery can perform better when used at room temperature.

•If there is stain on the surface of the battery, wipe it with a dry, clean cloth.

•After a long storage period, the battery needs to be activated several times to ensure maximum efficiency.

•When dealing with a secondary battery, please separate it from other electrochemical systems products.

•Waste battery should be disposed of by the relevant disposing unit.

•The improper use of a lithium ion battery can cause battery damage and even endanger personal safety. Please read carefully, use correctly and

take precautions.
