BATTERY PACK PRECAUTIONS

◆ Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the battery pack may be damaged. ◆ After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger. If the charger power is reset (turned ON after being turned OFF), recharging will start again and the battery pack will become overcharged. ◆ Do not use the transceiver while charging the battery ...

Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!

If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. • Do not use or leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)! If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an internal short-circuit may occur in the indi ...

Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. • Do not solder directly onto the battery! If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. • Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)! When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur ...

Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time!

If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the regulated time has passed, stop it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. • Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure container! The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. • Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire! If the battery ...

■Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack

• As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the battery capacity decreases. • Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack degrades. • It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler areas. • The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and discharged in hotter areas. When the battery pack is stored in a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker. ...
