Nickel Cadmium Battery Safety Tips
Nickel metal hydride batteries are an excellent balance of the three factors of high capacity, high energy density and cost performance, making them suitable for use in multi purpose portable information devices and audio-visual equipment.
NiCd Batteries Safety Instructions:
- Misuse can result in the batteries short-circuiting, leading to leakage, heat generation, or rupturing. Please observe the following precautions when using batteries.
- NiCd batteries can Form a "Memory Effect" from charging on a timer controlled charger. Always fully discharge batteries or packs once a month and then fully recharge for maximium performance.
- Do not dispose in fire or expose to high temperature.
- Do not under any circumstances insert the batteries with the positive and negative poles reversed.
- If the connection with the charger does not operate correctly, do not force the battery in, but instead check the direction of the positive and negative poles.
- Do not directly connect the batteries to power outlets or car cigarette lighter ports.
- Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal with metals such as wire this will "Short the batteries and make them useless.
- Do not store or carry the batteries where the can come in contact with metal objects.
- Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
- Do not directly solder the battery. Soldiering can over heat the battery and lessen or completely ruin it.
- In charging, use the assigned charger, or observe the charging conditions set out by SupremePower
- This battery contains an alkaline liquid. If this liquid comes in contact with the eyes, this may lead to loss of sight. Without rubbing the eyes, immediately wash them with clean water and consult a doctor.
- Do not use the battery if it shows signs of leakage, a change of color or shape or any other changes in appearance.
- Do not place batteries in water or sea water. This may lead to the battery rusting.
- Do not remove or damage the battery can. This makes it easy for the battery to short-circuit and may cause leakage.
- If charging does not reach completion within the specified time, stop charging. This may result in overcharging and in turn electrolyte leakage and heat generation.
- Store the battery out of reach of small children. If the battery is swallowed, immediately consult a doctor.
- Please carefully read the instruction manual and warnings of the device used.
- Refer to the charger instruction manual concerning charging methods.
- If the battery is rusted or shows any other abnormal signs at the time of purchase, take it to the point of purchase and return it..
- When finished using the battery, be sure to turn off the device's switch. Failure to do so may result in battery leakage.
- When not using the battery, or not using the device for a prolonged period, remove the battery from the device and store it in a dry place between the temperatures of -20oC and +35oC. This prevents leakage, rust and decreased battery performance and service life
- Do not apply a strong force to the battery or throw it. This may cause leakage or damage to battery.
- Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, in hot cars, in front of stoves or other hot places. This may lead to leakage from the battery.This may deteriorate the performance and service life of the battery
- Store the battery out of reach of small children. Additionally, ensure that children don't remove the battery from the charger or the device used.
- If a child is using the battery, the guardian must sufficiently inform the child of the contents of the instruction manual before use. The guardian must also ensure that it is being used as specified in the instruction manual.
