Description
Li-ion cylindrical cells, akin to those found in everyday devices like mobile phones, are generally safe when handled correctly. However, improper use poses inherent risks. Prioritising battery safety is essential to prevent personal injury and property damage.
Safe Usage, Storage, and Disposal:
- Risk Acknowledgment: Users assume all risks associated with the use, charging, discharging, storage, and transportation of Li-ion batteries. Retailers, suppliers, or manufacturers bear no responsibility for any injuries, damages, or losses resulting from improper handling.
- Proper Storage: Always store batteries in a suitable case when not in use. Complimentary cases are included with every order.
- Avoid Short Circuits: Keep batteries away from metallic objects to prevent short circuits, which can lead to safety hazards.
- Use Compatible Chargers: Always use a charger specifically designed for the batteries being charged. Appropriate chargers are available for purchase.
- Supervised Charging: Never leave a charger unattended during the charging process.
- Avoid Complete Discharge: Do not fully discharge batteries; most cells have a cut-off voltage of around 2.8V or 2.5V.
- Regular Inspection: Frequently check battery wraps and insulators. Replace any worn or damaged wraps before further use.
- Temperature Considerations: Avoid exposing batteries to extreme temperatures or sudden fluctuations.
- Responsible Disposal: Dispose of end-of-life cells at local WEEE recycling centres or return them to the supplier for proper disposal.
By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure safe usage, proper storage, and responsible disposal, contributing to a safer environment for all.
