7. Cautions

Please read this specification carefully before testing or using the cells because improper handling
of the Li-ion cells may lead to efficiency loss, heating, electrolyte leakage, ignition or even explosion.

7.1 Caution in Use

7.1.1 Abnormal operations such as overcharge (voltage > 4.2V), over discharge (voltage < 2.5V)
and overcurrent charge-discharge (maximum current allowed at present temperature) should be

-6-
 File Number:WI(Q)-RD-D-072 Version: A2
prohibited during cell using. It is strictly prohibited to use the cell in the environment easily causing
problems, such as static electricity and poor sealing (water and dust entering).
7.1.2 Charging with the current more than 1.5A, using in the high-temperature/low-temperature,
vibration, or humid environment, and matching unstable cells will reduce the cycle life of the cell.
7.1.3 The cell shall not be used in the environment of high frequency microwave or ultrasonic wave.
When using in series and parallel, it is recommended to coat the high-voltage wire with electromagnetic
insulation cover to prevent the electromagnetic wave from damaging adjacent devices and human body.
7.1.4 Avoid overlapping or contact between the positive and negative terminal wires of the battery to
reduce the risk of short circuit.
7.1.5 The battery should be charged and discharged in strict accordance with this specification to
ensure the battery's cycle life and safety.
7.1.6 When the batteries are assembled in a module for use, the cells with the same capacity,
internal resistance, batch and charged state shall be used. The packing standard of the batteries should
be strictly in accordance with the technical agreement. The temperature difference inside the battery
pack should be less than 5℃ when the pack is working.
7.1.7 Do not charge the battery when temperature is less than 0℃. Please store it in the
environment with temperature more than 0℃ for a period of time before charging. Recommended store
time as follows:

Outside Temperature -5℃ ≤ T ≤ 0℃ -10℃ ≤ T ≤ -5℃ -15℃ ≤ T ≤ -10℃ -20℃ ≤ T ≤ -15℃

Time 2h 5h 8h 10h

7.2 Safety Caution

7.2.1 The battery should be placed away from babies and children. If there is any emergency such
as deglutition, scald or explosion, please go to the hospital immediately.
7.2.2 When charging or discharging the battery, please use professional test equipment designed
for Li-ion batteries. Do not use ordinary constant current or constant voltage (CC/CV) power chargers
without limitation of current or voltage. These chargers do not protect the battery from being overcharged
and over-discharged, and may lead to function failure and be dangerous.
7.2.3 When charging, discharging, or assembling the battery, avoid reversing the positive and
negative terminals. Or it would lead to overcharge and over-discharge of the battery, causing serious
failure, or even explosion.
7.2.4 Do not solder the battery directly. Do not disassemble the battery.
7.2.5 Do not put the battery in pockets or bags with metal objects, such as necklaces, hairpins,
coins, screws, etc. Neither store the battery without proper isolation, nor connect the positive and
negative electrodes directly with conductive materials. Or the battery may be short-circuited.

-7-
 File Number:WI(Q)-RD-D-072 Version: A2
7.2.6 Do not hammer, throw or trample the battery. Do not put the battery into washing machines or
high-pressure containers.
7.2.7 Keep the battery away from heat sources, such as fires, heaters, etc. Do not use or store the
battery in direct sunlight or at places where temperature could exceed 60℃. Or the battery may generate
excessive heat, ignite and fail.
7.2.8 Do not get the battery wet or throw it into water. When the battery is not in use, place it in a dry
environment with relatively low temperature.
7.2.9 If the battery becomes abnormally hot, give out smell, change color, deform or show any other
abnormalities during using, testing or storing, please stop using or testing immediately. Attempt to isolate
the battery and stay away.
7.2.10 If the leaking electrolyte from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Rinse the
eyes with clean water and seek medical attention if problems remain. If the electrolyte gets onto the skin
or clothing, wash with clean water immediately.

8. Packing

Cells need to be at half-charged state when packed. The surface of the packing boxes shall contain
the following information: product name, type, nominal voltage, quantity, gross weight, date, capacity
and impedance.

9. Transportation

During transportation, do not subject the cells or the boxes to violent shaking, bumps, rain or direct
sunlight. Cells can be transported by truck, train, ship and airplane, etc.

10. Long-term Storage

When delivered, cells are charged to the voltage of 3.48V ~ 3.68V. Storing cells at/more than 80%
SOC for a long time will lead to capacity loss and cycle life loss, please keep cells into use within 90 days
when the capacity is more than 80%.
Cells may have lower capacity than they’re expected due to the self-discharge when cells are to be
delivered at 20% SOC.
Do not use or store the cells when the voltage is less than 2.5V.

11. Warranty

The warranty period of this product is 12 months from the ex-factory date. This warranty will be void
if the cells are used in ways that deviate from this specification.

12. Exclusion of Liability

The company is not liable for any problems arising from non compliance with this specification.

-8-
 File Number:WI(Q)-RD-D-072 Version: A2
The company is not liable for any problems arising from the use of electrical circuits, battery packs
and chargers.
The company does not guarantee the quality of the defective batteries caused by customers in the
battery assembly process after shipment.
