Batteries
General battery warnings
Handle batteries carefully. Do not short circuit the battery.
Avoid continuous battery discharge when the medical device is not in use, as this may cause lead
sulphate formation, which, if left in this state for too long, will irreversibly damage the battery.
LINAK battery packs may emit flammable gases. Do not expose the battery packs to fire or
equipment that emits sparks. Moreover, do not store the battery in a closed environment or
incorporate it into a closed structure of an enclosure as this may cause an explosion, fire, equipment
damage, or injury.
Handle tools carefully and do not wear jewelery when handling batteries. A short-circuit of the
battery terminals can cause burn injuries, damage or trigger explosions.
Only connect LINAK batteries to compatible chargers.
LINAK battery packs contain toxic substances. If the internal battery fluid leaks out and gets onto
skin or clothing, make sure it is washed off with clean water. Moreover, if the fluid gets into the eyes,
rinse them immediately with clean water and seek medical assistance.
Do not use or store LINAK battery packs in places where the ambient temperature exceeds 50 °C,
such as inside a hot automobile, in direct sunlight, or in front of a stove or a source of intense heat.
Doing so can shorten the battery life, lower its performance level, cause the battery to leak fluid,
explode, cause fire, or be damaged.
