Battery
Please read and follow the handling instructions for the battery before use. Improper use of the battery may
cause heat, fire, explosion, damage or capacity deterioration of the battery. However, the manufacturer will
not guarantee against any accident caused by the usage which is not written here.
DANGER
• Do not dip or wet the battery in water, seawater, or other liquid. If the protecting pin assembled in the
battery is damaged, the battery may be charged with an abnormal current and voltage, which may
result in the cause of heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
• The battery has a predetermined polarity. If the battery will not connect well to the charger or
equipment, do not try to connect the battery forcefully. Check the polarity first. In the case the battery is
connected in reverse, it is charged reversely and may cause acid leakage, heat generation, explosion,
or fire due to an abnormal chemical reaction.
• Do not put the battery into a fire or heat it. In such a case, the insulator in the battery may be melted,
the safety vent and structure may be damaged, all of which may cause heat generation, explosion, or
fire.
• Do not connect the battery reversed in positive (+) and negative (-) terminals in the charger or
equipment. In the case the battery is connected in reverse, it is charged reversely during charge, and
causes an excessive current during discharge, and may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire due to
an abnormal chemical reaction.
• Do not let the battery terminals ( + and - ) contact a wire or any metal ( like a metal necklace or a
hairpin ) with which it carried or stored together. In such a case, the battery is shorted and causes an
excessive current, which may result in heat generation, explosion, or fire.
• Do not apply heavy impact to the battery, or throw or drop it. Strong impact may damage the
protecting pin, which may result in heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
• Do not drive a nail in, hit with a hammer, or stamp on the battery. In such a case, the battery may be
deformed and shorted, and the protecting pin may be damaged, which may cause heat generation,
explosion, or fire of the battery.
• Do not solder the battery directly. Heat applied during soldering may damage the insulator or the safety
vent and mechanism, which may result in acid leakage, heat generation, explosion, or fire of the
battery.
• Do not disassemble or alter the battery. The battery contains a safety mechanism and a protecting pin
in order to avoid any danger. If these are damaged, heat, explosion or fire may be caused.
• Charge the battery every 6 months to the amount specified by the manufacturer, even if the battery is
not used. An excessive over-discharge may cause an abnormal chemical reaction, which may result in
the cause of acid leakage, or fire of the battery.
