Description
Li-ion cylindrical cells, similar to those found in everyday devices like mobile phones, are generally safe when used correctly. However, there are inherent risks associated with their improper use. Prioritising battery safety is crucial to avoid personal harm and property damage.
Safe Usage, Storage, and Disposal:
- Risk Acknowledgment: Purchasers/users assume all risks related to the use, charging, discharging, storage, and transport of Li-ion batteries/cells. Retailers, suppliers, or original manufacturers are not liable for any injuries, damages, or losses resulting from improper use.
- Proper Storage: Never carry loose cells; they should always be appropriately cased when not in use. Free cases are provided with every order.
- Avoid Short Circuits: Do not short batteries with metallic objects, as this can lead to safety hazards.
- Use Compatible Chargers: Always use a battery charger specifically designed for the cells being charged. Suitable chargers are available for purchase.
- Supervised Charging: Never leave a battery charger unattended during the charging process.
- Avoid Complete Discharge: Do not completely discharge batteries. Most cells have a cut-off around 2.8v or 2.5v.
- Regular Inspection: Check battery wraps and insulators regularly. Replace worn or damaged wraps before continuing use.
- Temperature Considerations: Avoid exposing batteries to extreme heat, cold, or sudden temperature fluctuations.
- Responsible Disposal: Dispose of end-of-life cells at local WEEE recycling centres or return them to the supplier for proper disposal.
Prioritise safety by adhering to these guidelines. Responsible use, proper storage, and appropriate disposal contribute to a safer environment for everyone.
