LITHIUM BATTERIES - DUE TO THEIR POWER & CAPACITY, THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS IF MISUSED.
IF MISUSED, THEY CAN VENT/EXPLODE, CAUSING SEVERE BURN INJURY & PROPERTY DAMAGE.
THIS IS BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT YOUR SAFETY!
Tips to prevent injuries from batteries and vaping devices
Do not modify your device.
Buy batteries that are compatible with your device.
Buy batteries from a trusted source.
Do not carry lithium-ion batteries in your pocket or anywhere they can come into contact with loose coins, keys or other metal objects. Lithium-ion batteries can overheat, catch fire or even explode when in contact with metal objects. Incidents have caused serious injuries.
Keep spare batteries in a protective case.
Read the manufacturer’s instructions for storing and recharging your device.
Do not exceed the recommended charging time.
Store out of sight and reach of young children and pets.
DO NOT USE IN A DEVICE THAT EXCEEDS CELL CAPABILITIES. SOME BATTERY CELLS LIST AMPERAGE (A), WATTAGE (W), AND RESISTANCE (Ω) LIMITATIONS FOR EASY REFERENCE OF CAPABILITIES. SOME BATTERIES DO NOT THEREFORE IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ADHERE TO PROPER BATTERY SAFETY AND UNDERSTAND YOUR POWER REQUIREMENTS VS BATTERY LIMITATIONS. IF CAPABILITIES ARE EXCEEDED, IT CAN CAUSE CELL TO VENT/EXPLODE.
INSPECT CELL VISUALLY AND BY TOUCH TO SEE/FEEL FOR DAMAGE BEFORE EACH USE. DAMAGE TO THE CELL OR THE PROTECTIVE LABELING MAY INCLUDE: TEAR, NICK, PUNCTURE, HOLE, DENT, CORROSION, OR ANY OTHER UNDISCLOSED ABNORMALITY/DAMAGE. DAMAGE RISKS SHORT-CIRCUITING CELL WHICH CAN CAUSE CELL TO VENT/EXPLODE. DO NOT USE A DAMAGED CELL.
WHEN CHARGING, NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED & ALWAYS REMOVE CELL(S) FROM CHARGER ONCE FULLY CHARGED TO ENSURE THEY ARE NOT EXPOSED TO ANY POTENTIAL CHARGER MALFUNCTION OR OVER-CHARGING THAT COULD DAMAGE CELL AND CAUSE IT TO VENT/EXPLODE.
ONLY USE LI-ION CHARGERS (3.6V & 3.7V). MOVE FLAMMABLE OBJECTS ≥2 METERS AWAY.
ALWAYS USE MATCHING CELLS IN MULTI-CELL DEVICES. DIFFERENCES IN CELL CAPACITY CAN LEAD TO OVERCHARGING OR OVER-DISCHARGING CELL. THIS CAN CAUSE CELL TO VENT/EXPLODE.
IF USING A MULTI-CELL DEVICE, IT MUST HAVE A NON-CONDUCTIVE BARRIER (TYPICALLY PLASTIC) THAT PREVENTS CELLS FROM TOUCHING METAL EXCEPT FOR THE VERY CENTER OF TOP AND BOTTOM OF CELL. OTHERWISE, IT CAN SHORT-CIRCUIT TO CELL AND VENT/EXPLODE.

IF CELL IS USED IN A DEVICE THAT CAN OR DOES USE MORE THAN 50% OF CELL MAX AMPERAGE (A) OR MAX WATTAGE (W) LIMIT (LISTED ON EACH CELL, ITS PACKAGING, AND IN BROCHURE), REPLACE WITHIN 100 DAYS OF PURCHASE OR IMMEDIATELY IF DAMAGED. HIGH AMPS/WATTS ACCELERATE CELL AGING AND DEGRADATION, WHICH DECREASES PERFORMANCE, CAPACITY, AND SAFETY.
IF CELL IS ONLY USED IN A DEVICE THAT CANNOT BE SET OVER 50% OF CELL MAX AMPERAGE OR MAX WATTAGE (W) LIMIT (LISTED ON CELL AND ITS PACKAGING), REPLACE WITHIN 180 DAYS OF PURCHASE OR IMMEDIATELY IF DAMAGED. THROUGH TIME AND USE, CELL AGES AND DEGRADES, WHICH DECREASES PERFORMANCE, CAPACITY, AND SAFETY.
