SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION
(Li-Ion)
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack
can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are
created when lithium ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open
eye for
15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is
needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persists, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
Transportation
STANLEY
batteries comply with all applicable shipping
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which
include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous
Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods
(IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning
The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).
Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3
of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a
STANLEY
battery pack will be
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9
Hazardous material. In general, the two instances that require
shipping Class 9 are:
1. Air shipping more than two
STANLEY
lithium-ion battery
packs when the package contains only battery packs (no
tools), and
2. Any shipment containing a lithium-ion battery with an
energy rating greater than 100 watt hours (Wh). All lithium-
ion batteries have the watt hour rating marked on the pack.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentation requirements.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fire if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that the
battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials
that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

BATTERY TYPE
The SCR12 operates on a 10.8V battery pack.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum
battery performance and life, store battery packs at room
temperature when not in use.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger
for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted
of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before
use.
Labels on Charger and Battery Pack
In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the labels
on the charger and the battery pack may show the following
