Safety Precautions NiMH batteries:
1. General: Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries (accumulators) are energy storage devices
with a high energy density and can present risks. For this reason, particular care is needed when
charging, discharging, storing and handling. Read these instructions very carefully before first
using the battery. Do not fail to take note of the warning notices and instructions for use. Misuse
can lead to risks such as explosion, overheating or fire. Failure to observe the instructions for use
leads to early failure and other defects. The instructions should therefore be kept in a safe place
and it is essential that they are handed over to the second user if the batteries are passed on.

2. Warning notices:

• Avoid short-circuits. A short-circuit may well destroy the product. Cables and connections
must be well insulated.
• It is essential when connecting the battery to ensure that the polarity is correct.
• Original plug connectors and cables may not be cut off or changed (if need be, use an adapter
cable).
• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat or cold or to direct sunlight. Do not throw in the
fire. Do not place the battery in contact with water or other liquids.
• Charge the battery only with charging units intended for the purpose. Before charging, always
first allow the battery to cool to ambient temperature. Never charge while hot.
• When charging, place the battery on a non-flammable, heat-resistant support. There should
be no flammable or readily ignited objects in the vicinity of the battery.
• During charging or operation, never leave the battery unsupervised.
• Do not fail to keep to the recommended charge/discharge current. Under no circumstances
exceed these maxim values.
• The battery casing must not be damaged. It is essential to avoid damage by sharp objects such
as knives or the like, from dropping, impact, bending etc. Damaged batteries may no longer be
used.
• Batteries are not toys. They should be kept away from children.
3. Charging instructions: Before they are first used, NiMH batteries must always be charged.
The first charge should not be carried out in rapid charge mode, otherwise the battery may not
reach its full capacity. We recommend a charging current of 1/10 of its capacity, i.e. charging at
the 10-hour rate.. The maximum charging current for the battery is 1C (C=nominal capacity of the
battery, e.g. for a battery with a nominal capacity of 2700 mA, the maximum charging current
for the battery is 2700 mA (2.7 A)). Exact information for the charging current will be marked
on the battery. Charging should be stopped immediately if there is a significant rise in battery
temperature. !! Completely avoid deep discharge - in no event should the cell voltage be allowed
to fall below 0.9 V. It is not necessary to always fully discharge the battery before each charge.
Occasionally (e.g. after every 10th charge), however, or if it has not been used for a long time,
