Failure to do somay cause the battery to get hot, rupture or ignite and cause serious damage orinjury.• Turn off the light while charging. This allows the battery to reach the thresholdvoltage unhindered and reflects the correct saturation current responsible toterminate the battery charge cycle.• Charge at a moderate temperature, do not charge below freezing.• Discontinue using charger and/or battery if the battery gets excessively warm.• Do not overheat or overcharg, Li-ion batteries may suffer thermal runaway and cellrupture. In extreme cases this can lead to combustion.• To reduce these risks, Lithium-ion battery packs contain fail-safe circuitry that shutsdown the battery when its voltage is outside the safe range of 3–4.2 V per cell.• Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion batterylife than one deep charge.• Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep thebattery at a 40% charge level and in a cool environment.Initial UseFully charge the Nightstick before the first use or if the battery is new or has been unusedfor several months.
