• Batteries should be charged, used, and stored away from static electricity.
• Do not use or leave batteries in cars near fire sources or at temperatures over 60°C. Do not charge or discharge in these environments.
• Do not put batteries in handbags with metal items such as necklaces, hairpins, coins, or screws, or store batteries with such items.
• It is forbidden to store lithium batteries in damp places or expose them to moisture, rain, and water.
• In use, attention should be paid to the positive and negative poles of the battery.
• Do not use batteries with severe deformation.
• When this lithium-ion battery is not used for a long time, pack it in a battery box and store it in a cool and dry place. It is recommended to charge and discharge the battery with standard methods once every six months. After charging for 1.5 hours, it can continue to be used or stored normally.

Troubleshooting

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the battery and the power source.
  • Try a different USB-C cable or power source to rule out faulty equipment.
  • Check the charging indicator: if it's high-speed flashing green, the battery may be malfunctioning.
• Battery Not Powering Device:
  • Verify that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity (+ and -).
  • Ensure the batteries are fully charged.
  • Check if the device itself is functioning correctly with other known good batteries.
• Battery Shows Abnormal Behavior (Hot, Odorous, Deformed):
  • Immediately discontinue use and charging.
  • Carefully remove the battery (if safe to do so) and place it in a non-flammable container.
  • Contact customer support for assistance.
• Device Battery Indicator Shows 100% Until Sudden Drop:
  • This is a known characteristic of some devices when used with 1.5V Li-ion batteries due to their linear discharge curve. The voltage remains stable until near depletion, unlike alkaline or NiMH batteries which show a gradual voltage drop. This is normal behavior for the XTAR batteries.
