Battery Handling Guidelines

Lithium battery safety information with charging, handling, storage, and fire prevention guidelines from American Electric Energy.
  • Do not drop, open, or cut the battery pack. Damaging the protective wrap voids the warranty and can harm the battery.

  • Avoid extreme temperatures: Store between 32°F and 77°F, never expose above 104°F for long periods.

  • Wait at least 30 minutes after use before charging. Never charge a dropped battery.

  • Ensure correct polarity during charging and discharging.

  • Do not mix batteries of different brands, types, or ages.

  • Use smart chargers with temperature sensors for larger packs (10Ah+).

  • Recharge every 2 months to maintain battery health and avoid total failure.

Charging Practices

Lithium battery safety information with charging, handling, storage, and fire prevention guidelines from American Electric Energy.
  • Charge batteries individually (not in series) to avoid overcharging or errors.

  • Match the charging current with the battery’s specifications.

  • Allow the battery to cool before charging.

  • Use fireproof containers and charge away from flammable materials. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby.

  • Do not mix batteries of different brands, types, or ages.

  • Use smart chargers with temperature sensors for larger packs (10Ah+).

  • Recharge every 2 months to maintain battery health and avoid total failure.

Please disconnect the charger from your battery as soon as the indicator light turns green. This ensures optimal battery health and prevents potential overcharging.

Safety & Responsibility

  • You are responsible for using protection circuits in your devices.

  • We are not liable for damage caused by improper use.

  • Mishandled or defective batteries can leak, catch fire, or explode.

  • Never leave batteries charging unattended.

  • Use only Li-ion specific chargers—do not use NiMH or NiCd chargers.

Storage & Transport

  • Store at 40°F to 80°F in a dry, cool place.

  • Avoid direct sunlight and heat exposure.

  • During transport, maintain 20°F to 150°F.

  • Exposure above 170°F for over 2 hours can permanently damage the battery and pose fire risks.

Maintenance Tips

  • Use a quality Lithium-Ion smart or trickle charger.

  • Set correct voltage and current; never discharge below 3V per cell.

  • Avoid puncturing the cell or exposing it to liquid.

  • Never cut multiple wires at once—this can short the battery.

  • Do not store or charge batteries in hot vehicles.
