cause high cell temperatures which can cause skin burns. Sources of short circuits include
jumbled batteries in bulk containers, metal jewelry, and metal covered tables or metal belts used
for assembly of batteries into devices.
If soldering or welding to the battery is required, use of tabbed batteries is recommended. If this
cannot be done, consult your Moltech representative for proper precautions to prevent seal
damage or short circuit.
Do not open battery. The negative electrode material may be pyrophoric. Should an individual cell
from a battery become disassembled, spontaneous combustion of the negative electrode is
possible. This is much more likely to happen if the electrode is removed from its metal container.
There can be a delay between exposure to air and spontaneous combustion.
Charging: This battery is made to be charged many times. Because it gradually loses its charge
over a few months, it is good practice to charge battery before use. Use recommended charger.
Improper charging can cause heat damage or even high pressure rupture. Observe proper
charging polarity.
Labeling: If the Moltech label or package warnings are not visible, it is important to provide a
package and/or device label stating: If the Moltech label or package warnings are not visible, it is
important to provide a package and/or device label stating:
