Important Notes
-
This is a non-rechargeable primary lithium battery.
- Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
- Do not short-circuit, crush, puncture, disassemble, or expose it to fire.
- Do not solder directly to the battery terminals unless using an approved manufacturer-supplied tab configuration and procedure.
- Do not mix batteries of different models, ages, or states of discharge.
- Verify the device's voltage and current requirements before installation.
- Lithium thionyl chloride batteries are optimized for long-life applications and may require additional pulse-current support for high-current wireless transmission.
- Passivation and voltage delay can occur after prolonged storage or under certain operating conditions.
- Use appropriate battery holders and observe correct polarity.
- Store and handle according to the manufacturer's safety instructions.
- Dispose of used batteries through approved battery recycling or hazardous waste channels.
- Keep batteries away from children.
- Use only in equipment designed for the electrical and safety characteristics of this battery.
