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. Additionally, seek medical attention. 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 persist, seek medical attention.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
TRANSPORTATION
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can
contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in
aprons, pockets, toolboxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,
keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and
the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibits transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (e.g., packed in
suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits.
So, when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

•
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
it will operate as a 20V Max* battery. When the FLEXVOLT
120V Max* (two 60V Max** batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max** battery.
•
Shipping Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT
Shipping Mode. Strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in
three batteries with a lower watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to one battery with a higher
Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of three batteries with the lower watt hour rating
can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hour batteries. The battery label indicates two-Watt Hour Ratings (see example).
Depending on how the battery is shipped, the appropriate Whr rating must be used to
determine the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping cap, the pack will
be considered 3 batteries at the Whr indicated for "Shipping". If shipping without the cap or in
a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to "Use".
* indicating 18.2V when inserted into tool.
** indicating 54V when inserted into tool.
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 h
For example, shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40-Watt hours
each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 120-Watt hour (1 battery implied).
