CAMPAGNOLA POWER ECO PLUG-IN Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien page 74

It is suggested to replace intensively used batteries after 2-3 years, also in order to optimise the functioning of the
equipment with lithium batteries of newer technology
See also, par. 1.4, TABLE 1 section 'Specific warnings and prohibitions for batteries'
DANGEROUS MISUSE
•
Avoid overcharging. The product and battery system does not allow discharging below 80%, so when an
audible and visual low battery signal is given, recharging is required
•
Do not connect any chargers not provided by the manufacturer.
•
Do not force the connection if the connector is defective or damaged.
•
Do not recharge the battery if there is obvious mechanical or electrical damage, material (mud or other) on the
contacts and/or water ingress.
•
It is forbidden to use the product if the ambient temperature is outside the permitted range.
•
It is forbidden to use the battery to power other products.
•
It is forbidden to disconnect the battery connector with the product switched on and/or in operation or during
the charging phase
•
It is forbidden to leave the battery exposed to the weather and/or heat sources.
•
Avoid cleaning it with high-pressure jets or mechanical brushes, which can damage the case or contacts,
•
Avoid mechanical shocks.
The battery connectors must be kept in perfect condition at all times. In case of breakage, damage, oxidation
phenomena, insulation damage, etc., it is imperative to replace the entire battery.
Do not attempt or perform makeshift repairs that could cause dangerous short circuits or electric shocks.
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONARY REQUIREMENTS
Only recharge with chargers specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a fire hazard if used with another type of battery
pack.
Only use products with battery packs specifically defined for the product supplied.
Use of other unintended battery packs may lead to a risk of damage or fire or increase ageing of the battery pack.
When the battery is not in use, it should be kept separated/far away from objects such as paper, coins,
keys, pins/clips, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection between the terminals.
Short-circuiting the terminals can cause burns or fire.
Under abnormal conditions, liquids can be spilled/ejected from the battery, so any contact of the person
and/or body parts with them should be avoided. If there is accidental contact, eyes, hand, etc., wash with
water and contact a doctor.
Liquids expelled from the battery can create irritation and/or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or product when it is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour that could lead to fire, explosion or risk of
injury/wound.
Do not expose the battery pack to fire or excessive temperatures.
Exposure to fire or temperatures above 80°C (176°F) can lead to explosions.
It is absolutely forbidden to repair/open the battery
Since this is a hermetically sealed product, it is forbidden for any person to attempt repairs or replacement of battery
parts, otherwise there is a risk of injury/wound, risk of fire, electric shock, explosion, contact with corrosive liquids,
thermal effects, etc.
PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE FOR LONG PERIODS
Before taking the battery out of service for a long period (e.g. max. 6 months) recharge it completely and observe
the temperature limits for storage and preservation.
PUTTING BACK INTO OPERATION AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
Before use after a long period of non-use (or after six months of non-use) fully recharge it.
