Do NOT OPERATE NEAR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. Do not operate near flammable liquids or gases, on or near a carpet or any flammable surface.
Do NOT OPERATE inside an automobile or other vehicle. If using a cigarette lighter adapter or connecting to automobile power ensure that the cord is long enough to connect to the battery located outside and away from the vehicle.
Do NOT OPERATE WHEN BATTERY IS HOT. Vmax Lithium Ion batteries use A123 Nanophosphate cells. These cells heat up much less under high current loads that Lithium Polymer batteries. Vmax Lithium Ion batteries will feel warm when providing high current but should not become so hot that you cannot tough them. If the becomes too hot to comfortably touch, understand why it is hot. Check your connections. If the battery and anything it is connected to appears to be functioning properly the battery may be overloaded by devices to which it is connected. Reduce the load.
Do NOT MODIFY WIRING OR CONNECTORS. If your battery was supplied with factory installed connectors we strongly suggest using these connectors. If a battery connector is not compatible with the device to which you intend on connecting the battery, use an adapter rather than changing connectors on the device or the battery.
CONNECT TO DEVICES HAVING COMPATIBLE VOLTAGE & CURRENT REQUIREMENTS. Ensure that the output voltage and current of your battery is compatible with the device you intend connecting it to. Ensure that external devices do not overload the battery with more current than it can supply.
DO NOT OPERATE in a WET ENVIRONMENT. This battery is NOT intended for operation in a wet environment. It is NOT water or weather proof. Keep the battery dry and clean at all times.
CHARGE CORRECTLY. Review the voltage, charging current limit and balancing voltage stated on the battery label. Review the charging guidelines provided elsewhere in this document. Review the instructions that came with your charger and ensure that you know how to connect to and control the output from your charger.
ALWAYS UNPLUG WHEN UNATTENDED. Do not leave your battery connected to anything when unattended. Nothing!
