11. Donotusebatteriesthathavesueredcurvatureor
deformation during the charging process or those that
exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing,
cracking, etc.).
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (maximum
recommendeddepthofdischargeis80%).Acomplete
discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging
of the battery cells.

1. Protect you generator and the battery charger from
moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous
cell damage.
2. Do not use the generator or the battery charger near
vaporsandammableliquids.
3. Use the battery charger and the generator only in dry
conditionsandatanambienttemperatureof41ºF–105°F
(5°C–40.5°C).
4. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the
temperatureisliabletoreachover105°F(40.5°C).In
particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is
parked in the sunshine.
5. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads,
overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will result
in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work
withbatteriesthathavebeenoverheated–replacethem
immediately, if possible.
6. Store the charger and your the generator only in dry
locationswithanambienttemperatureof41ºF–105°F
(5°C–40.5°C).Storeyourlithium-ionbatterypackina
cool,dryplaceatatemperatureof77°F(25°C).Protect
the battery pack, charger and generator from humidity
and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in
storage(chargedtoatleast40%).
7. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery
packsthatwerestoredbelow32°F(0°C)formorethan60
minutes must be discarded.
8. When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge.
Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic
protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic
charging and never touch the battery poles.
