AFTERCARE GUIDE

Take care and familiarise yourself with handling Li-ion Lithium Batteries before use

For extending battery life, keep at room temperature (20C - 25C)

Avoid completely discharging, partial discharge is recommended

Do not reverse polarity, short circuit or tamper with batteries

Never leave batteries unattended and avoid overcharging

Dispose batteries correctly in approved locations

Batteries are at the most risk while charging so its extremely important to buy a good quality charger.
