3. Product Overview

The OCTelect 955565 Lithium Polymer Battery features a compact design with integrated protection circuitry (PCM) and a connector for easy installation. Understanding its components is crucial for proper handling.

Figure 3.1: Battery Component Diagram. This image shows an exploded view of the battery, highlighting its internal components such as the Ni-Tap, adhesive tape, PCM (Protection Circuit Module), red wire (+), black wire (-), and the connector. A date code is also visible on the battery cell.

The battery includes a connector with clearly marked positive (red wire) and negative (black wire) terminals to ensure correct polarity during connection.

Figure 3.2: Connector Polarity. This image displays two views of the battery connector, clearly indicating the positive (P+) and negative (P-) terminals. The red wire is connected to P+ and the black wire to P-.

4. Setup and Connection

Before connecting the battery, it is critical to verify the polarity of your device to prevent damage. Incorrect connection can lead to product failure or safety hazards.

4.1 Polarity Verification

• The connector's orientation may not 100% match your device. Always confirm polarity before connection.
• The connector's red wire is the positive electrode ("+").
• The connector's black wire is the negative electrode ("-").
• Your device's positive electrode ("+") must connect to the connector's positive electrode ("+").
• Your device's negative electrode ("-") must connect to the connector's negative electrode ("-").

WARNING: WRONG CONNECTION MAY CAUSE PRODUCT FAILURE.

Figure 4.1: Correct vs. Incorrect Connection. This image illustrates the importance of correct polarity. The left side shows a correct connection with the red wire (P+) aligned with the device's positive terminal and the black wire (P-) with the negative terminal (indicated by a green checkmark). The right side shows an incorrect connection (indicated by a red 'X'), where the polarity is reversed, which can damage the device or battery.

5. Operating Instructions
