SAFETY(CONT.)
• THE BATTERY HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY SALTWATER.
Exposure to liquids can cause internal corrosion or damage to the cells or
to the Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS protects the battery
from overcharging, high self- discharge or imbalanced charging of the
cells, any of which can present the possibility of fire during recharging.
• OPERATING OR CHARGING A BATTERY THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED FROM
DROPPING OR FROM SHIPPING DAMAGE.
• USING A CHARGER OTHER THAN SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED FOR THE
PARTICULAR BATTERY. Lithium Ion battery chargers provide a specific
charging voltage and microprocessor current and voltage control. They
are fundamentally dierent than chargers for SLA, NiCd, NiMH, or other
rechargeable batteries. Chargers for LiNiMnCoO2 (NMC) batteries
(VML) and LiFePO4 batteries (VLX) are not interchangeable, and require
dierent charging voltages.
