PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF LITHIUM ION POLYMER BATTERIES
|
In general, lithium ion batteries are used in battery packs that contain both lithium ion batteries and battery protection circuits. Both items are sealed in a container made of a material such as resin so that the battery pack cannot be easily disassembled.
|
| 1.Charging |
| (1) Charge Voltage |
| The maximum voltage is 4.2 V x the number of cells connected in series. |
| (2) Charge Current |
| Recommend 0.7 CmA. when the voltage per cell is 2.9V or less, charge using a charge current of 0.1CmA or less. |
| (3) Charge Temperature |
| The batteries should be charged at temperatures between 0℃ and 45℃. |
| (4) Reverse-polarity Charging |
| Verify the polarity of the batteries before charging to insure that they are never charged with the polarity reversed. |
| WARNING |
| (1) Do not attach the batteries to a power supply plug or directly to a car’s cigarette lighter. |
| (2) Do not place the batteries in or near fire, or into direct sunlight. |
(3) Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite.
|
| 2. Discharging |
| (1) Discharge Current |
| Normally, the current should be maintained at 1.0 CmA or less |
| (2) Discharge Temperature |
| The batteries should be discharged at a temperature between -20℃ and +60℃ |
| (3) Discharge Termination Voltage |
| Avoid discharging at voltages less than 3.0 V per cell. Over-discharge can damage the performance of the battery. |
| WARNING |
Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the specified device. When the battery is used in devices aside from the specified device it may damage the performance of the battery or reduce its life expectancy, and if the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite and cause serious injury.
|
| 3. Storage |
The batteries should be stored at room temperature, charged to about 30% to 50% of capacity.
|
| 4. Safety Warnings When Using the Battery |
| WARNING |
| (1)Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery. |
| (2)Do not install the battery backwards so that the polarity is reversed.. |
| (3)Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery to each other with any metal object (such as wire). |
| (4)Do not carry or store the batteries together with necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects. |
| (5)Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks. |
| (6)Do not solder directly onto the battery. |
| (7)Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet. |
| (8)Do not disassemble or modify the battery. if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite. |
| (9)Do not place the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature locations. |
| (10)Do not place the battery in direct sunshine, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather. |
| CAUTION |
| (1)When the battery is worn out, insulate the terminals with adhesive tape or similar materials before disposal. |
| (2)Do not place the batteries in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers, or on induction cookware. |
| (3) In the event that the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye. |
