Temperature Constraints
•
Low temperatures hinder battery performance.
Battery Handling
•
Never lift the batteries by the terminals.
•
Do not stack one battery on top of another. Stacking might cause them to
collapse.
New Batteries
•
There is no need to “break in” new batteries. After thirty charging cycles, the
cells reach their maximum level of performance.
Battery Life
•
The performance of a battery diminishes after it has reached a certain age,
and it must be replaced.
NOTE:
Dispose of the batteries in an environmentally-responsible manner.
CAUTION:
The battery is an energy source. If that energy is released in an
uncontrolled way, for example, through a short circuit, serious damage
can result.
•
For reasons of safety, do not eat, drink, or smoke near the batteries.
•
Even though the battery cells are sealed, handle them with care.
If battery acid should come into contact with skin or clothing, immediately
wash with soap and cold running water.
•
Keep the batteries away from heat and open flames.
•
If the battery fluid contains a higher concentration of hydrogen and
oxygen than normal, it could burst into flames.
•
Do not touch the battery while it is charging or discharging.
