Handling Rechargeable Batteries - VOLTCRAFT CHARGE MANAGER 2024 Bedienungsanleitung

6. HANDLING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

• Rechargeable batteries are no toys. Always keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave rechargeable batteries lying around openly. Children or pets may swallow them. If swallowed, consult
a doctor immediately!
• Rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. There is a risk of fire and
explosion!
• Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries may cause caustic burns if they come into contact with skin. Therefo-
re you should use suitable protective gloves for this.
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Non-rechargeable batteries are meant to be used once only and must be disposed of properly when empty.
• Batteries must not get damp or wet.
• Never leave the charging/discharging batteries unattended.
• Please observe the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when inserting batteries into the charger.
• Do not charge/discharge any battery that is still hot (e.g. caused by high charge/discharge currents). Allow the
battery to cool down to room temperature before attempting to charge or discharge it.
• Never charge/discharge damaged, leaking or deformed batteries. This can result in a fire or explosion! Dispose of
any unusable rechargeable batteries in an environmentally compatible fashion. Do not continue to use them.
• Recharge standard and NiZn rechargeable batteries about every 3 months and rechargeable batteries with low
self-discharge every three years. Otherwise, so-called deep discharge may result, rendering the rechargeable
batteries useless.
• Never damage the exterior cover of a battery. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
