Lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion batteries) are often used in rechargeable devices and are generally safe to use. However, like other types of batteries, they pose certain hazards, including:
Compared to other types of batteries, they are more susceptible to damage and, due to their instability, can become dangerous in certain situations.
Handle lithium-ion batteries with care. Do not drop, modify, or recycle them. Inspect the battery for damage. Never use the following batteries:
Store batteries in a safe place, out of reach of children. If you carry batteries with you, store them in a non-metallic protective case.
Do not charge the battery longer than recommended. Overcharging may cause the battery to overheat, which may result in a fire or explosion.
Charge the device at room temperature within easy reach of the user. Soft surfaces, such as sofas or beds, can cause heat to accumulate around the battery, which can lead to overheating.
To extend battery life and ensure safe use, charge the battery before its level drops below 30%. Do not leave the battery fully charged or at 100% for extended periods of time.
Unlike older batteries, lithium-ion batteries do not require full discharge. This can cause damage.
Use the original charger for your device. If you need a new charger, purchase it from a reputable supplier, ensuring its voltage and current are compatible with your device.
If you need a replacement charger for high-voltage devices such as electric bicycles, remote control cars, and power tools, please contact the original product manufacturer.
Chargers without this marking do not comply with electrical safety standards and may cause electric shock and fire.

The consequences of accidents involving larger, more powerful batteries can be more serious, and fires will be more difficult to extinguish.
Use the original lithium-ion battery. For a battery replacement, contact the manufacturer. If you cannot contact the manufacturer, contact the retailer.
Allow the battery to reach room temperature before use. Do not charge in temperatures below zero degrees Celsius.
Do not attempt to modify lithium-ion batteries. This may cause them to perform erratically and increase the risk of overheating, fire, and explosion.
If lithium-ion batteries are not used for an extended period, they should be stored with a charge level of approximately 50%. Check the battery every three months to ensure the charge level has not decreased. If this has happened, charge it back to 50%.
Lithium-ion batteries should be stored in a room with a temperature of 5 to 20°C (41 to 68°F) and low humidity. If your device has removable batteries, you may need to remove them from the device for storage during hot or cold months.
