Charging:
This battery is made to be charged many times. Because it gradually loses its charge over a few months, it is good
practice to charge battery before use. Use recommended charger. Improper charging can cause heat damage or
even high pressure rupture. Observe proper charging polarity.
SECTION VIII-ACCIDENTAL RELEASE OR SPILLAGE
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled.
Batteries that are leakage should be handled with rubber gloves. Avoid direct contact with electrolyte. Wear
protective clothing and a positive pressure Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).
SECTION IX-SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Ventilation Requirements:

Respiratory Protection:
Not necessary under normal conditions.
Eye Protection:
Not necessary under normal conditions. Wear safety glasses with side shields if handling an open
or leaking battery.
Gloves:
Not necessary under normal conditions. Use neoprene or natural rubber gloves if handling an open or leaking
battery.
Open Battery Storage:
Battery should not be opened. Should a cell become disassembled, the electrode should be stored in a fireproof
cabinet, away from combustibles.
Keep batteries between -20°C and 35°C for prolong storage.
When the cells are closed to fully charged, the storage temperature should be between -20°C and 30°C and should
be controlled at 10-20°C during transportation and packed with efficient air ventilation.
