Additional safety instructions for battery pack
To ensure the longest battery life and best battery performance possible, always charge
the battery in temperatures between 18 - 24° C.
Do not charge and store your battery in temperatures below 0° C and above 40° C. Fai-
lure to observe this safety rule may cause serious damage to the battery pack. Do not
discard the battery pack in a fire. The battery pack may explode in a fire.
In case of excessive use or extreme temperature conditions, a small amount of liquid
may escape. If skin contact with the liquid occurs, immediately wash the affected areas
with soap and water. The fluid can be neutralised by using a mild acidic substance, such
as lemon juice or vinegar. In the event of contact with the eyes rinse with clean water for
at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical advice.
Do not attempt to open the battery pack. If the housing around the battery pack breaks
or exhibits any cracks, stop using the battery pack immediately and do not charge it
again. The battery pack must be disposed of as hazardous waste in accordance with the
relevant requirements. Do not attempt to pierce the battery with nails or hit it with a
hammer; do not stand on the battery or expose it to severe stress or knocks. Lights and
their batteries that are stored for a prolonged period of time will discharge. Do not store
or use the light and the battery pack in areas where the temperature reaches, or exceeds,
50° C.
Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations. Do
not expose the battery to direct sunlight and do not use or leave it in a vehicle during hot
weather. This can result in the development of heat or the battery exploding or igniting.
Such use of the battery can also lead to reduced performance and a shorter service life.
Store the battery back at room temperature (18° C to 24° C) when it is not used. In case
of extended periods of storage, charge the battery once a year to avoid deep discharge.
