4. Maintaining your Battery Pack
4.1 Battery Usage
The Meazura™ MEZ1500 RDA comes with a custom rechargeable lithium ion battery
pack that can only be purchased from Aceeca or Artex.
4.1.1 Battery Warnings
• Do not heat or throw the battery into a fire.
• Do not use or store the battery close to fire or inside a car in which the temperature
may be over 60°C.
• Do not put the battery in your pocket or in a bag together with metal objects such
as necklaces, hairpins, coins, or screws. Do not store the battery with such objects.
• Do not short circuit the (+) and (-) terminals with a metal object such as a needle,
necklace or hairpin.
• Do not pierce the battery with a sharp object such as a nail.
• Do not hit with a hammer, step on, throw, drop or allow the battery to undergo
other such strong shock.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• Do not solder the battery directly.
• Do not use a battery that is severely scarred or deformed.
4.1.2 Battery Storage
Unlike Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) batteries or Nickel-metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries,
lithium-ion (Li-on) batteries should be charged early and often. Never use battery
maintenance software to maintain your battery as this can reduce the life of your
battery. Li-ion batteries should be kept cool. They should not be subjected to freezing
temperatures. Aging will occur much faster at high temperatures (such as a hot car) and
will reduce the life of your battery.
Purchase a Li-Ion battery pack only when you need a replacement, ensuring you receive
a fresh battery pack.
• Stop using the battery if it exhibits abnormal heat, odor, color, deformation or is in
an abnormal condition.
• Keep away from fire immediately when leakage or foul odor is detected.
• If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with fresh water immediately.
• If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Wash
them well with clean water and consult a doctor immediately.
• Before using the battery, be sure to read the user's manual and cautions on handling
thoroughly.
• For information on installing and removing the battery from equipment, thoroughly
read the user's manual for the specific equipment.
• Batteries have life cycles, so if the time that the battery is powering the equipment
