SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
- It is essential to read and understand these safety instructions and warnings before charging your batteries.
- Lithium Polymer and Li-ion batteries are volatile. Failure to read and follow the instructions below may result in fire, personal injury, and damage to property if charged or used improperly.
- Never make a wrong polarity connection when charging or discharging battery packs. Always double-check the polarity of the battery's connector to ensure that "+" is connected to "+" and "-" is connected to "-".
- Do not mix and use old batteries with new batteries, or batteries with different brand names.
- Lithium batteries have a limited cycle life. Please replace old batteries with new ones when they reach their service life or when they are two years old, whichever comes first.
- When charging the Battery Pack, please place the battery in a fireproof container. Do not leave the UPS shield on wood material or carpet unattended.
- Keep the UPS shield away from children to ensure their safety.
- Ensure your fingers do not touch the solder pads when inserting the battery into the battery holder, as this could cause a short circuit. This is extremely important!!!
- Make sure to insert the battery before turning on the UPS.
- Make sure to insert the battery before connecting the external charger to charge it.
