Battery use conditions
1. Charge battery packs only with chargers approved by PowerTrunk. The use of any other
type of packs or chargers will invalidate the guarantee and can lead to early breakdown
or make them be useless.
2. Do not throw battery packs into the fire or put them near heaters. Do not place them
inside microwave ovens. Also, avoid putting them close to combustible materials.
3. Avoid exposing battery packs to direct sunlight or putting them in places that, potentially,
can reach high temperatures (for example, inside a vehicle). They could overheat or
damage, then reducing their useful life.
4. Do not submerge battery packs in water or another liquids, or touch their contacts with
the hands wet or with damp materials.
5. Do not allow metallic objects contact or short-circuit the battery pack’s terminals. Avoid
placing it on metallic surfaces or putting it into a pocket, bag or recipient with metallic
elements.
6. Do not try to drill, disassemble or modify the battery pack. Do not hit or handle it with
sharpened objects.
7. Charge the battery pack between 0ºC and +40ºC only.
8. Do not expose battery packs to AC or DC voltages that could produce uncontrolled
charge or discharge currents.
9. It is advisable to put the battery charger on a clear place, free of elements that could
prevent a proper ventilation during charging process.
10. If a battery pack shows severe mechanical damage (greater than the scratches or small
hits produced during normal use), its internal structure could be affected. In this case, do
not use that battery pack any more.
11. Charge a battery pack only when necessary. Do not recharge it if it’s not completely
discharged. It is advisable to carry a spare to replace the battery in use when it is fully
discharged.
