LiON Warning and Disclaimer
General Safety Guidelines
1) NEVER use a NiCd/NiMH charger to charge LiON batteries. Only use chargers designed for Lithium Polymer (LiON) batteries.
2) NEVER store LiON batteries in any location that exceeds 40-80° F (e.g. in a car, garage, or in the sun)
3) NEVER let the battery’s positive and negative leads to touch. This can cause the battery to short and lead to a FIRE. If for any
reason you need to cut the terminal wires, it will be necessary to cut each wire SEPARATELY, to make sure the wires do NOT
touch each other.
4) NEVER charge a swollen or ballooned battery (even if swollen upon purchase). Continuing to charge a battery that has begun to
swell will result in a fire. Follow these steps:
a. STOP the charging process and disconnect battery immediately
b. Disconnect battery from the device immediately.
c. Place it in an open non-flammable area.
d. Watch it for approx. 30 minutes from a safe distance.
e. Follow proper procedure to dispose of battery
5) ALWAYS inspect the battery to make sure there are no signs of damage, deformity, or swelling before charging. If there are,
STOP charging the battery and follow the proper procedure to dispose of the battery.
6) ALWAYS store LiON batteries in cool, dry places between 40-80° F.
7) If the battery reaches high temperatures in the event of damage to the iDTAD, follow these steps:
a. Disconnect battery immediately from the device
b. Place it in an open non-flammable area.
c. Watch it for approx. 30 minutes from a safe distance.
d. If the battery appears to be stable (no signs of damage or swelling) proceed to put it back into your device and continue using
with caution.
8) Keep LiON batteries out of reach of children or pets.
Avoid Over-Discharging LiON Batteries
Over-discharging—continuing to use a LiON battery even when it is almost completely drained or below its minimum voltage level—
can cause permanent damage to the battery.
The damage caused by this can be INTERNAL battery damage and will not always be visible. However, internal damage can
eventually lead to a FIRE when attempting to re-charge it at later times.
Charging Batteries
Caution – Before Charging
1) ALWAYS visually inspect LiON battery for any damaged leads, connectors, shrink wrap, swelling of cells, or other
irregularities before charging or using.
2) Do NOT use if you find any of the above issues with your pack.
3) Use the supplied USB C cable for charging.
If any damage to the pack or leads is found, or if the voltage is significantly less for your pack than specified above, do NOT attempt
to charge or use the pack.
Batteries Involved In Severe Impact
Carefully inspect your battery after any damage to the iDTAD. Cautiously look for any damaged leads, connectors, broken shrink-
wrap, punctures, swelling of cells, or other irregularities. Not doing so can lead to battery failure at some point in the future or even
possible fire.
In the event of damage or if the battery exceeds high temperatures:
1) Disconnect battery immediately from the device.
2) Place it in an open, non-flammable area.
3) Watch it for approx. 30 minutes from a safe distance.
4) If the battery appears to be stable (e.g. no signs of damage or swelling), proceed to put it back into your device and continue
using with caution.
Battery Maintenance & Handling
· NEVER disassemble existing LiON packs to mix with other LiON cells/packs.
· Do NOT discharge battery to a level below 3V per cell under load. Deep discharge below 3V per cell can deteriorate battery
performance.
Battery Life & Disposal of LiPo Batteries
Rechargeable LiPo batteries do NOT last forever. Batteries that have lost 20% of their initial capacity should be removed from service
and disposed of properly.
If at any time, you see any physical damage in a LiON battery such as swollen cell, split, or tear in the cell’s covering, STOP usage
immediately and dispose of battery.
