Notes On Using Lithium-Ion Batteries - PCE Instruments; PeakTech 9020 Bedienungsanleitung

7. Notes on using lithium-ion batteries:

Note: Always follow the following precautions when handling Li-Ion batteries:

Do not work in environments with extreme temperatures or very high pressure differentials,
as this may lead to unwanted chemical reactions within the battery. While using Li-Ion
batteries this may cause smoke, fire or bursting of the battery.

Never expose the battery to contact with fire or heat. Avoid storing the battery in direct
sunlight.

Never destroy or open the housing of the battery by drilling, cutting, hitting or other physical
action, because an internal short circuit with possible heat / fire can occur.

Never immerse the battery in water or connect the positive (+) and minus (-) pins with a
metal object.

The Li-Ion battery pack is suitable for use only with the supplied charger. At the first
charging, the device should be loaded at least 5 hours but not more than 12 hours.

Store the battery at least in temperatures of 0°C and maximum 40°C.

To preserve the battery power even on prolonged storage, charge the battery at least once
every six months.

Replace the battery only with an identical original part.

A Li-Ion battery does not belong in household waste and should be submitted separately at
the local waste station or directly send it back to your dealer/manufacturer.
