Warning: Lithium-ion batteries, including dlg batteries and similar rechargeable cells, present risks of explosion and fire if mishandled. Improper use, especially outside of designated battery packs or without a Battery Management System (BMS), can lead to serious injury and property damage. Users must understand and accept these risks when working with lithium-ion batteries. We disclaim any responsibility for injuries resulting from lithium-ion battery misuse; use them at your own risk.
All rechargeable batteries inherently carry risks. Exercise extreme caution when working with lithium-ion (li-ion), lithium polymer (LiPo), and other rechargeable cells, including dlg batteries. These batteries have unique charging characteristics and are known to explode or ignite if not handled correctly. It is crucial for anyone using rechargeable batteries to thoroughly educate themselves, particularly on proper charging, discharging, assembly, and storage procedures. You can find extensive information on battery care at resources like Battery University. Please be aware that we are not liable for damages caused by the misuse or mishandling of rechargeable batteries.
To ensure safe operation with dlg batteries and other lithium-ion cells, please adhere to the following crucial safety guidelines:
-
Avoid Deep Discharge: Never fully discharge batteries. Typically, avoid discharging below 2.5V for li-ion cells and 2.0V for LiFePO4 cells. Always consult the manufacturer’s datasheet for specific minimum discharge voltages for your Dlg Battery or cell type.
-
Initial Full Charge: Before the first use, fully charge your dlg battery or lithium-ion cell. This usually means charging to 4.2V for standard lithium-ion and 3.6V for LiFePO4.
-
Voltage Limits: Never exceed the maximum full charge voltage specified for your battery. Overcharging is a primary cause of battery failure and hazards.
-
Supervised Charging: Always supervise battery charging. Never leave batteries charging unattended, especially dlg batteries or high-capacity cells.
-
Storage Charge Level: Do not store lithium-ion batteries, including dlg batteries, at a full charge for extended periods (weeks or longer). Prolonged full charge storage can degrade battery life and increase risk.
-
Proper Long-Term Storage: For long-term storage of dlg batteries or lithium-ion cells, store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a case or individual box. The recommended storage voltage is approximately 3.5-3.7V for li-ion and 3.2V for LiFePO4.
-
Quality Chargers: Use only high-quality, reputable battery chargers specifically designed for lithium-ion batteries. Using incorrect or low-quality chargers can be dangerous and damage your dlg battery or cells.
-
Heat Exposure: Protect batteries from heat. Do not expose dlg batteries or any lithium-ion cells to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
-
Avoid Short Circuits: Never connect the positive and negative terminals of a battery directly without a proper load. This can cause a dangerous short circuit, leading to overheating and fire.
-
Respect Specifications: Never exceed the manufacturer’s specifications for your dlg battery or lithium-ion cells, including charge and discharge rates.
-
Correct Charger Types: Never attempt to charge or discharge lithium-ion batteries with chargers not specifically designed for lithium-ion chemistry.
-
Fireproof Charging Area: Always charge dlg batteries and other rechargeable cells on and within fireproof materials to contain any potential incidents.
-
Unattended Recharging: Never leave rechargeable batteries in a recharging station unattended.
-
Inspect for Damage: Do not use any rechargeable battery or charger if there is visible damage or if mishandling has occurred. Inspect your dlg battery and charger before each use.
-
Safe Storage and Transport: Always store and transport rechargeable cells, including spare dlg batteries, in a safe, non-conductive container. Never carry loose batteries in pockets or bags where they could be short-circuited. Use protective cases.
-
Proper Disposal: Dispose of all battery cells and chargers according to local regulations. Contact your local municipality for guidance on proper battery disposal procedures for dlg batteries and lithium-ion cells.
-
Emergency Procedures: If a rechargeable battery overheats, hisses, or bulges, immediately isolate it from combustible materials. Ideally, move the battery outdoors to a safe location.
-
Battery Fires: If a rechargeable battery catches fire, the FAA recommends using water or soda to extinguish the fire and cool surrounding areas. A foam extinguisher is also effective for lithium-ion battery fires.
