1-3-6 Battery Safety
To avoid the risk of injury, follow the warning and cautions to make sure that the battery does not burst,
ignite, or generate heat of fumes.
• The battery has a safety device. Do not disassemble or alter the battery.
• Charge the batteries only when the ambient temperature is between 0° and 40° C (32° and
104° F).
• Do not short-circuit the battery by directly connecting the negative terminals with metal
objects.
• Do not heat the battery or discard it in a fire.
• Do not expose the battery to temperature over 60° C (140° F). Keep it away from fire and other
heat sources.
• Do not charge the battery near a heat source, such as a fire or heater.
• Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight.
• Do not drop packs from height to prevent them from possible malfunction damage.
• Do not pierce the battery with a sharp object, hit it, or step on it.
• Do not use a damaged battery.
• Do not solder a battery.
• Do not connect the battery to an electrical power outlet.
• Do not contact PCM (Power Control and Monitor, it is a small board in the battery) directly
to prevent packs from ESD damage.
• In the case of longer non-use of the LOGIQ Book XP Series, please make sure the battery is
removed.
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.
• Store the battery between -20° C (-4° F) and 60° C (140°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 10° C (50° F) and 30° C (86°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 15 hours to have CMOS battery fully charged. Time and
date need to be re-setup.
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.
