• Use only the specified charger and observe charging
requirements!
If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high
temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or
current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may
overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The
batterymaygenerateheatorsmoke,rupture,orburstintoame.
• Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an
instrument, or step on it!

• Do not jar or throw the battery!

rupture, and/or burst into flame. If the battery’s protection circuit
is damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal current (or
voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The
batterymaygenerateheatorsmoke,rupture,orburstintoame.
• Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!

• Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function
isdamaged,thebatterymaygenerateheatorsmoke,rupture,or
burst into flame.
• Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction
may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount of current
may flow upon discharging. The battery may generate heat or
smoke,rupture,orburstintoame.
• Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
