cautions:
• To avoid hazards
... do not burn.
... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away
from metallic objects when not in use. When
transporting, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
... do not modify or disassemble.
... do not expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the
battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
• To prevent damage and prolong service life
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge within the temperature range of 10°C to
35°C (50°F to 95°F). Cooler temperatures require
longer charging time, or in some cases stop
charging at all.
Warmer temperatures prevent complete charging,
or in some cases stop charging at all.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to
high temperatures will increase natural discharge
and shorten service life.
... keep a 30% battery level (
is not to be used for a long period of time.
In addition, fully charge and then fully discharge
the battery pack every 6 months, then continue to
store it at a 30% battery level ( ).
... remove from charger or powered unit when not in
use, as some machines use current even when
switched off.
... do not drop or subject to strong impact.
