Battery Attentions

To maintain battery performance and lifespan, follow these safety instructions:

• Handle battery packs with care to prevent physical damage. Dropping or crushing may lead to internal damage, fire, or explosion.
• Charge battery packs using only the specified charger and recommended procedures. Incompatible chargers or methods can damage cells and pose a hazard.
• Do not attempt to repair or modify battery packs (disassembling, soldering, modifying terminals). This can cause internal damage, heat, fire, explosion, or chemical leakage.
• Keep battery packs away from fire or heat sources. High temperatures can cause cells to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery packs according to local regulations.
• Never let battery packs contact water or liquids. If wet, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use or charge a wet battery pack.
• If battery packs emit abnormal odor, heat up, or show discoloration/deformation, stop using them immediately and contact your Ailunce dealer.
• Use battery packs only within the specified temperature range of -10°C to +30°C. Operating outside this range may reduce performance and lifespan.
• Avoid leaving battery packs fully charged, completely discharged, or exposed to excessive temperatures (above 30°C) for extended periods. This reduces service life. If not in use for a long time, discharge and remove them from the transceiver.

Following these instructions ensures safe and effective battery use, minimizing risks.

Charging Instructions

1. WARNING: Do not charge the battery pack in extremely high temperatures (near fires, stoves, direct sunlight in vehicles, etc.). This can activate the safety circuit and terminate charging.
2. Do not charge the transceiver during a thunderstorm to prevent electric shock, fire, or damage. Disconnect the power adapter before a storm.
3. Do not charge or leave the battery in the charger for more than 8 hours. If not fully charged, stop charging and remove it. Overcharging can cause fire, overheating, or battery rupture. Monitor the battery pack's condition during charging.
4. Do not insert a wet or dirty transceiver with an attached battery pack into the charger. This can corrode the charger terminal or damage the charger, as it is not waterproof.
5. Charge the battery pack within the specified temperature range of 10°C to 30°C. Ailunce recommends charging at 25°C (77°F). Charging outside this range may lead to overheating, rupture, or reduced performance.
