Essential Safety Recommendations

• Always utilize batteries and charging equipment provided or authorized by the manufacturer. Ensure that all equipment is certified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory.
• Once charging is complete, disconnect the battery or charging device to prevent overheating.
• Charge batteries at room temperature; temperatures below 32°F or above 105°F can lead to complications.
• Keep batteries away from heat sources and flammable materials.
• Avoid storing batteries in vehicles or exposing them to direct sunlight.
• Have a qualified professional perform all maintenance on batteries and e-mobility devices.

If you notice any unusual signs, such as strange odors, color changes, excessive heat, shape distortions, leakage, smoke, or if the device fails to hold a charge, stop using it immediately. It’s crucial to prioritize safety in these situations.
