Information concerning the (optional) Li-ion battery pack:
The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organic solvent.
Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames or
extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the
battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters.
DANGER
•
Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!
The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to
avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not short-circuit the battery!
Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such
as a paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in
containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklace
or hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive
current will flow and the battery may generate heat or smoke,
rupture, or burst into flame. It will also cause metal objects to
heat up.
• Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!
If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function
is damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
• Do not use or leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other
heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C)!
If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature,
an internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and
the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
• Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other
means!
If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery
may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal
chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or
smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
