Battery Handling and Precautions

Safety

•Never put the battery into the fire or water.

•Do not solder directly to the battery.

•Do not subject the battery to abnormal vibration and impact.

•When plugging the battery into the charger unit or the e-bike, ensure correct polarity.

•Do not contact the battery terminals with metal objects to avoid danger.

•Do not disassemble battery.

•Do not modify or remove the component from the battery.

•Do not mix GP batteries with other battery brands or batteries of a different type.

•Do not short circuit the battery. Permanent damage to the battery may result.

Charge and Discharge Conditons

•For charge and discharge procedures, please refer to the specifications and technical handbook.

•When using a new battery or a battery is stored for a long period, please recharge the battery before use.

•The charger must have the temperature cutoff device, which terminates the charge when the battery temperature reaches 55˚C. Otherwise, overheating may cause damage to the battery.

•The charger must have appropriate charge termination controls to avoid overcharging.

•Overdischarge may shorten the cycle life of the battery. The battery cutoff voltage should not be lower than 1V per cell.

Battery Compartment Design

•Avoid airtight battery compartments. Ventilation should be provided in the plastic case of battery, otherwise oxygen and hydrogen gas generated inside may cause an explosion when exposed to fire sources, such as motors or switches.

Storage

•Store the battery in a cool dry place.

•Charge and discharge the battery once every half-year when storing at room temperature.

•If the battery will not be used for a long period, please charge up the battery before storage. Unplug and remove it from the charger or e-bike to avoid overdischarge.
