• Lead-Acid batteries must be placed in a well ventilated area when charging.
• DO NOT attempt to charge whilst the input 12 volt battery is being charged, as the
voltage supplied to the charger may be too high.
LITHIUM ION/POLYMER BATTERY - SAFETY WARNINGS
Ensure that the charger and battery are placed on a non-flammable surface whilst
charging.
NEVER charge a Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery inside a vehicle whatever the
circumstances.
ALWAYS ensure that the charger is correctly set for the battery being charged,
checking both voltage and capacity. Be particularly careful if using a series/parallel
battery pack, or if using packs of different specifications with the same charger.
NEVER charge at a rate higher than that recommended by the cell manufacturer, this
can be very dangerous.
DO NOT leave Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe batteries unattended whilst they are
charging. Monitoring the batteries during charging is very important.
ALWAYS monitor the temperature of the battery being charged every few minutes. If
the battery becomes hot to the touch, disconnect it from the charger immediately
and allow to cool. DO NOT recommence charging until the battery and charger have
been checked for compatibility and the charger settings have been confirmed as
being correct.
In the unlikely event of the Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery catching fire DO NOT use
water to attempt to put the fire out, instead use sand or a fire extinguisher designed
for electrical fires.
When used correctly, Lithium ION/Polymer/Fe battery packs are as safe as any other
type of rechargeable battery pack. However they do require different charge regimes
to the longer established Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride technologies and
have the potential of catching fire if severely mistreated.
If Lithium Polymer battery packs are short-circuited or severely over-charged
elemental Lithium may be deposited internally, and if the battery pouch is damaged
this can escape from inside the battery. If this occurs a fire may be caused, as
elemental Lithium is highly reactive when exposed to water or moisture, producing
flammable hydrogen gas and corrosive fumes. Elemental Lithium is not produced
