3. Safety Information

Adhering to safety guidelines is crucial when handling and using rechargeable batteries to prevent damage, injury, or fire.

• Use Compatible Chargers: Only use chargers specifically designed for 3.7V lithium-ion 26650 batteries. Using incompatible chargers can lead to overcharging, overheating, and potential hazards.
• Observe Polarity: Always insert batteries with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation as indicated by your device. Incorrect insertion can cause damage to the device and battery.
• Avoid Short Circuits: Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. Keep batteries away from metal objects like coins, keys, or jewelry that could cause a short circuit.
• Do Not Disassemble or Modify: Never attempt to disassemble, puncture, or modify the battery. This can release hazardous materials and cause severe injury.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose batteries to extreme heat (e.g., direct sunlight, fire) or cold. Store them in a cool, dry place.
• Handle with Care: Do not drop, impact, or mishandle batteries. If a battery appears damaged, swollen, or leaking, discontinue use immediately and dispose of it properly.
• Keep Away from Children: Store batteries out of reach of children and pets.
• Proper Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged batteries according to local regulations for lithium-ion batteries. Do not dispose of them in household waste.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your batteries, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charger is properly connected to a power source.
  • Verify the batteries are correctly inserted into the charger with proper polarity.
  • Check if the charger is compatible with 3.7V 26650 lithium-ion batteries.
  • Inspect batteries for visible damage; do not charge damaged batteries.
• Device Not Powering On:
  • Confirm batteries are fully charged.
  • Check that batteries are inserted with correct polarity in the device.
  • Ensure the device's battery contacts are clean and free of corrosion.
  • Test with another set of known-good batteries if available to rule out a device issue.
• Reduced Operating Time:
  • Batteries may be nearing the end of their lifespan.
  • Ensure batteries are fully charged before use.
  • Operating in extreme temperatures can affect performance.
