8 Standard test conditions

Any tests are to be conducted with new batteries that have not been cycled more than five times before the test.
Unless otherwise defined, test and measurements done under a temperature of 20±5°C and relative humidity
of 45~85%. If it is judged that the test results are not affected by such conditions, the tests may be conducted at
temperature 15~30°C and humidity 25~85% RH.

9 Cautions in use
To ensure proper use of the battery please read the manual carefully before using it.
9.1 Handling
Do not expose to, or dispose of the battery in fire.
Do not put the battery in a charger or equipment with wrong terminals connected.
Avoid short-circuiting the battery.
Avoid excessive physical shock or vibration.
Do not disassemble or deform the battery.
Do not immerse in water.
Do not use the battery mixed with other different make, type, or model batteries.
Keep out of the reach of children.
9.2 Charge and discharge
Battery must be charged with an appropriate charger only.
Never use a modified or damaged charger.
Do not leave the battery in a discharged state for over 24 hours.

9.3 Storage
Store the battery in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight.
9.4 Disposal
Regulations vary for different countries, dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
Dispose of responsibly by contacting your local refuse centre.

10 Battery operation instruction

10.1 Charging
Charging current: Must not surpass the highest charging current which is specified within Table 1.
Charging voltage: Must be regulated to the charging voltage specified within Table 1.
Charging temperature: The battery must be charged in the ambient temperature scope in Table 1.
Use constant electric current and constant voltage to charge.
Do not reverse charge.
It is recommended to only use Tracer dedicated chargers.
10.2 Discharging current
The discharge current must not surpass the highest discharge current specified in Table 1.
An oversized discharge current can cause the battery’s nominal capacity to reduce and the battery to overheat.
10.3 Discharging temperature
The battery must be discharged in the ambient temperature scope specified in Table 1.
10.4 Over-discharge
When excessively discharged the battery should always be charged immediately after use to ensure the battery
maintains nominal capacity and does not deteriorate.
10.5 Storing the batteries
The battery should always be stored in conditions as specified in Table 1.
If the battery is left unused for a period longer than 6 months it should be placed on charge.

11 Period of warranty
Tracer Li-ion batteries are covered by a one year limited warranty. The warranty covers premature failure due to
defects in materials and/or workmanship. Any breakage caused by accidental damage or as a result of abuse or
misuse is not covered. The warranty is limited to the original purchaser and is not transferable.
The warranty is void if the serial number is removed from the product or if the battery has been modified in any
way. Please charge your battery directly after each use. Leaving your battery in discharged state will seriously
and permanently damage its performance. Please note we cannot upheld warranty claims in these
circumstances. Your battery will degrade over time and with use, such degradation is not covered by warranty.

12 Other - Chemical reaction

Because batteries utilise a chemical reaction, battery performance will deteriorate over time even if stored for a
long period of time without being used. In addition, if the various usage conditions such as charge, discharge,
ambient temperature, etc. are not maintained within the specified ranges, the life expectancy of the battery may
be shortened or the device in which the battery is used may be damaged by electrolyte leakage. If the batteries
cannot maintain a charge for long periods of time, even when they are charged correctly, this may indicate it is
time to change the battery.

13 Note
Any other items which are not covered in this specification shall be agreed by both parties.
