Q:What is "short circuit"? May I short circuit Lithium battery?
A:If the positive and negative terminals come into contact with each other or with a metal object, this can cause a short circuit, generating heat.
If the batteries are stacked on top of each other or Mixed, the resulting short circuit can lead to heat generation, leakage, bursting and, eventually fire.
Do not short circuit Lithium batteries.
Q:May I apply heat on Lithium batteries or dispose of in fire?
A：If heated to 100°C or more, plastic materials in the battery such as the gasket and separator may be damaged, causing leakage.
The heat generated by a short circuit inside the batteries may lead to bursting or combustion.
If disposed of in fire, batteries may burn violently.
Q:May I solder Lithium batteries directly?
A:If solder is applied directly to the battery, resin materials in the Lithium batteries such as the gasket and separator may be damaged due to overheating.
This can cause leakage, and heat generated by a short circuit inside the battery may lead to bursting or fire.
Even if no abnormality takes place immediately after soldering, the resulting leakage and other damage may harm the components attached to the battery over a long period of usage.
Q:May I charge Primary Lithium batteries?
A:When a Primary Lithium battery is charged, gas is generated inside the battery and can result in swelling, heat generation, leakage bursting and fire.
Q:May I force discharge Lithium batteries?
A:When batteries are force-discharged with an external power source, the voltage drops to under O V (reverse electrode), and inner gas is generated.
This can lead to swelling, heating, leakage, bursting or fire.
Q:May I disassemble, apply excessive pressure on Lithium batteries?
A:If a battery is disassembled by force, gas may be generated which may cause throat irritation, or the Lithium metal may generate heat, causing fire. If deformed under pressure or under impact, distortion of the seal may lead to leakage, or a short circuit inside the battery may lead to swelling, heat generation, bursting or fire.
Q:Can I use Lithium batteries mixing with other battery types?
A:If different types of batteries are used together, or new batteries are used with old ones, the difference in characteristics of voltage, capacity, etc.,
may cause over-discharge of the battery which is exhausted first, leading to swelling, bursting or fire.
Q:Can Lithium battery be contacted with water?
A:No. This may cause corrosion or the formation of combustible gas.
Q:Can the battery be kept inside the appliance if the battery is used up or in long-term nonuse?
A:The battery had better be taken out from the appliance and kept in a dry place with low temperature if the appliance is in long-term nonuse.
If not so, the system will still make the battery discharge a low current. It will reduce the service life of the battery.
Q:Where Lithium batteries should be stored?
A:Lithium batteries should be stored in a place not exposed to direct sunlight.
Make sure the area is dry and has minimal temperature variation.
Storage in areas subject to high temperatures, humidity or rain may cause deterioration in battery quality and durability.
To avoid short circuiting batteries during storage, be sure that the positive and negative terminals do not come in to contact with each other.
