Battery Warnings and Cautions
The PowerShell comes with a removable Lithium Ion Battery. Careful attention must be paid to
the warnings and cautions described below relating to the Battery. Misusing the Battery may
cause the Battery to get hot, rupture, ignite and cause serious injury.
WARNINGS:
• Do not place the Battery in re or heat the Battery.
• Do not install the Battery backwards so that the polarity is reversed.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the Battery to each
other with any metal object (such as wire).
• Do not carry or store the Battery together with necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects.
• Do not pierce the Battery with nails, strike the Battery with a hammer, step on the Battery
or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder onto the Battery.
• Do not expose the Battery to water or salt water, or allow the Battery to get wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the Battery. The Battery contains safety and protection
devices which, if damaged, may cause the Battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
• Do not place the Battery on or near res, stoves or other high-temperature locations.
Do not place the Battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the Battery inside cars in hot
weather. Doing so may cause the Battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite. Using the
Battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life
expectancy.
• Immediately discontinue use of the Battery if, while using, charging or storing the Battery,
the Battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color, changes shape or appears
abnormal in any other way. Contact Breas or your health care provider if any of these
problems are observed.
