BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
8
Do Not Short Circuit the Battery:
Do not short circuit the battery. It generates a very high current which could cause the battery to
overheat, resulting in electrolyte gel leakage, harmful fumes, or explosion. The LIR tabs may easily
short-circuit by placing them on conductive surface. A short circuit may lead to heat build up and
damage of the battery. An appropriate circuitry with PCM is employed to protect accidental short
circuit of the battery pack.
Mechanical shock:
Dropping the unit, impact hit, bending, etc., may cause failure or shortened life of the LIR battery.
Battery connection:
• Direct soldering of wire leads or devices to the battery is strictly prohibited.
• Lead tabs with pre-soldered wiring shall be spot welded to the batteries. Direct soldering may
cause damage of components, such as separator and insulator, by heat build up.
Prevention of short circuit within a battery pack:
There is enough insulation layers between wiring and the batteries to provide extra safety protection.
The battery pack is constructed in a way that no short circuit will occur which may cause smoke or re.
Do No Disassemble the Batteries:
• Never disassemble the batteries as doing this may cause a internal short circuit in the battery,
which may lead to harmful fumes, re, explosion, or other problems.
• Electrolyte Gel is harmful and should not leak from the LIR battery. Should the electrolyte gel come
into contact with the skin or eyes, ush the area of contact immediately with fresh water and seek
medical attention immediately.
Do Not Expose the Battery to Heat or Fire:
Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in re. This may cause an explosion, which would be very
dangerous.
Do Not Expose the Battery to water or liquids:
Never soak/drop the batteries in liquids such as water, seawater, drinks such as soft drinks, juices,
coee or other.
Battery Replacement:
For battery replacement please contact ADJ customer support (800) 322-6337.
Do Not use a damaged Battery:
The battery could be damaged during shipping, caused by shock. Should the battery be found dam-
aged, including damages to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the battery package,
smelling of an electrolyte, or leakage of the electrolyte gel, or other, DO NOT use the battery. A battery
with a odor of electrolyte or a gel leakage should be placed away from re to avoid re or explosion.
