Battery Safety (continued)
NOTE: The battery shall be shipped in about 30% charged state. Those
packs have to be fully charged and discharged up to 3 times to
utilize Li-lon smart packs before use.
To avoid the battery bursting, igniting, or fumes from the
battery causing equipment damage, observe the following
precautions:
• Do not immerse the battery in water or allow it to get wet.
• Do not put the battery into a microwave oven or
pressurized container.
• If the battery leaks or emits an odor, remove it from all
possible flammable sources.
• If the battery emits an odor or heat, is deformed or
discolored, or in a way appears abnormal during use,
recharging or storage, immediately remove it and stop
using it. If you have any questions about the battery,
consult GE or your local representative.
• Short term (less than one month) storage of battery pack:
• Store the battery in a temperature range between-5° C
(23° F) and 50° C (122°F).
• Use only GE recognized batteries.
• In case of the long term (3 months or more) storage:
• Store the battery in a temperature range of -5° C (23°
F) and 50° C (122°F).
• When charging for the first time after long-term
storage. Recover such packs to original performance
through repeating several cycles of full charging and
discharging.
• When store packs for more than 6 months, charge at
lease once charging require per 6 months to prevent
leakage and deterioration in performance due to
self-discharging.
• When the system isn't powered on continuously more than
6 months, in order to prevent leakage and deterioration in
performance of CMOS battery, power on the system at
least once per 6 months for more than 10 hours to have
CMOS battery fully charged. Time and date need to be
re-setup.
