1.3 Handling the Battery of the Absolute Unit
Handle the battery by following the safety precautions specified below.
1. Never disassemble the battery. The electrolyte contained in the battery is a strong alkaline fluid that
can damage the skin and clothes.
2. Never short the battery (by connecting its positive and negative terminals directly). The equipment
may be damaged or generated heat may cause burns.
3. Never throw the battery into fire, as the battery may explode. Also avoid immersing the battery in water,
as it may impair the battery function.
4. Do not apply solder directly onto the battery. The safety valve in the battery cap may be damaged,
causing the safety mechanism to burst.
5. If the power is cut off for an extended period with the battery connector connected, the battery may
enter a deep discharge state. As a result, battery fluid may leak or the battery life may become
substantially shorter. If the power will be cut off for an extended period due to relocation or
modification of the system, etc., unplug the battery connector.
6. When disposing of the battery, take proper measures such as placing it into the battery recycle box at
an electrical appliance store, etc.
