Battery Safety Information

Batteries pose potential risks, and appropriate protective measures must be taken during operation and maintenance! Only the correct tools and suitable protective equipment must be used when handling batteries! Maintenance of batteries must only be performed by individuals with approved certification, specialized battery knowledge and the correct safety training! Failure to adhere to any of the above warnings may result in severe accidents or even death!

High Voltage Battery Pack

The high voltage battery pack contains several lithium-based battery cells and high voltage wiring harness. Please refer to the following information and requirements.

1. High Voltage Safety:

• ONLY qualified personnel are allowed to work with the high voltage system - there is danger of DEATH.
• DO NOT attempt to dismantle any area of the high voltage or battery system, suitably trained professional staff must use insulated personal protective equipment and follow specific safety guidelines before working on or near the high voltage system.
• Arbitrary disposal may cause pollution, hazard and damage to the environment.
• Short circuit of the positive and negative terminals of the battery is strictly prohibited, it will lead to strong current and high temperatures, this may cause personal injury or even fire. Since the positive and negative terminals of the battery are exposed within a plastic protective casing, sufficient safety measures must be taken during the assembly and connection of the battery system to prevent short circuits.
• Incorrect electrical connections may cause overheating during battery usage.

2. Transportation:

The high voltage battery pack is classed as a Category 9 hazardous material and must be transported by vehicles qualified in transporting Category 9 hazardous materials.

3. Storage:

Batteries should be stored at room temperature and in a dry environment. They must be kept away from dangerous areas and objects, such as flammable materials and sources of heat and water.

4. Recycling:

The high voltage battery pack MUST be recycled by a manufacturers Authorised Repairer or a professional approved dismantling agent.

• DO NOT attempt to disassemble or modify without authorization.
• DO NOT short-circuit or reverse the positive and negative terminals.
• Keep away from children.
• Never use a battery that shows signs of damage, leakage or is swollen
• DO NOT tilt or invert the battery. Portable Batteries (Including button type lithium manganese batteries, cylindrical lithium batteries, built-in nickel

hydrogen batteries, etc)

All batteries contain volatile substances, such as lithium metal, organic electrolytes and other chemical substances. Improper use and operation may cause the battery to heat up, catch fire or even explode, and there is a risk of personal injury or damage. Therefore, to prevent accidents when handling batteries, the following precautions must be followed. Please refer to the following information and requirements.

• Keep batteries away from children, if a battery is swallowed please seek medical attention immediately.
• DO NOT short circuit and never connect a battery using reverse polarity.
• DO NOT forcibly discharge, squeeze, puncture or burn the battery
• DO NOT dismantle the battery.
• A failed or discharged battery should be removed from the vehicle or appliance and disposed of according to local laws or handed to professional recycling institutions.
• DO NOT mix different types of batteries.
• DO NOT expose the battery to high temperature environment. Always keep away from fire.
• DO NOT attempt to solder directly onto a battery post or terminal.
• Store and install the battery in it’s original packaging or position to avoid any possibility of external short circuit.
• DO NOT store the battery in an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) bag or foam.
• DO NOT store batteries on metal surfaces, always ensure there is adequate insulation.
• DO NOT stack batteries or mix battery types when storin.
