it is not in use.
3. Never attempt to charge a damaged battery.
4. Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
5. Improper use of lithium-ion and lithium-polymer cells
and rechargeable batteries can lead to overheating,
explosion or spontaneous ignition of the cells or bat-
tery, and in turn to severe injury.

tion terminals of the battery (e.g. on a wire).

12. Never disassemble the battery or attempt to modify
it in any way. The battery is fitted with a number of
safety devices. Damage to any of these safety devic-
es can lead to overheating, explosion or spontaneous
ignition of the battery. The battery safety circuit must
not be used as a circuit breaker.
13. Keep the battery away from naked flames, ovens
and other sources of heat. Never expose the battery
to direct sunlight or store or use it in a vehicle dur-
ing sunny weather. High temperatures can damage
the battery safety circuit and lead to overheating,
explosion or spontaneous ignition of the battery. Use
of the battery under such conditions can also impair
battery performance and decrease the service life of
the battery.
14. Never put the battery in a microwave oven, high-
pressure container or on an induction cooker.
15. If the battery is to remain unused for a period of time,
it must be charged to approx. 30-50% and stored at
room temperature (19°C to 25°C). In the event of
a prolonged period of storage, the battery must be
charged once per year in order to avoid complete
discharge.
16. Permissible temperatures for charging the battery are
between 0° and 40°C, and for discharging the battery
are between 0° and 60°C.
17. The battery and charger will become hot during
charging. This is normal and is not an indication of
a malfunction.
18. Charging must be stopped if the battery fails to charge
fully within the specified charging time. Failure to stop
charging can cause the battery to overheat, explode
or spontaneously ignite. Battery charging must be
performed at temperatures of 0°C to 40°C. Charging
at any other temperatures can cause severe damage
to the battery or decrease its service life.
19. Disused batteries must be isolated by winding adhe-
sive tape or similar around the connection terminals.
20. Never dispose of the battery by burning or discarding
it with standard household refuse. Always take de-
pleted batteries to a local disposal or recycling centre.
21. Stop use of the battery immediately in the event of
unusual odours during charging/discharging, over-
heating, colour changes, deformation or other ab-
normalities.
22. In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with
the eyes due to a battery leak, never rub the eyes but
rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention
promptly. Failure to seek medical attention can lead
to eye injury.
23. The battery must be charged before first use. It will
reach its full capacity only after several charge and
discharge cycles.
24. Only charge the battery block in chargers that have
been subject to separate inspection and have been
certified as complying with EN 60335-2-29. Always
read the operating instructions for the charger before
