Safe handling and disposal guidelines

• For optimum life and performance, charge only on Hypersonic

Sonic Charge

battery charging

system.

• Do not disassemble the battery pack or attempt to solder connections directly to the component cells.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not incinerate, dispose of in fire, or heat above 71°C. Dispose of used batteries in the proper manner.

• Dispose or recycle batteries by wrapping in a plastic bag and placing in regular trash, or check with the

Re-chargeable Battery Recycling Corporation at www.rbrc.org for a battery recycling drop-off location

near you.

• Hypersonic

lithium-ion batteries can be charged up to 4.2V per cell without hazard. Once 4.2V per cell is

exceeded gas pressure may build up inside the cell and cause a one-time safety vent to open. Should

this occur, the battery will be unusable and must be replaced. The damaged battery should then be

disposed of in the proper manner.

• Hypersonic

lithium-ion batteries are inherently safe and do not pose a fire hazard under improper

charging conditions, but are capable of very high discharge currents. Take precautions to avoid short

circuits; considerable heating will occur through the shorting conductor.
