Samsung SDI will always prioritize the safety of products and do its best to provide the highest-quality products.
Lithium-ion batteries manufactured by Samsung SDI contain high energy densities and can cause serious personal injury or property damage when abused or misused.
Samsung SDI is not liable for any damages caused by consumers’ failure to comply with the “Guidelines on Charging, Use and Handling of Lithium-Ion Batteries.”
STOP CHARGING immediately:
If lithium-ion battery, battery module, battery pack or charger shows signs as above, immediately move them on a concrete floor outdoors, away from the house or flammable materials.
DO NOT recycle, reuse or distribute of the lithium-ion batteries without permission; refer to the “Battery Disposal Precautions” section and dispose of them immediately in accordance with local regulations.
Lithium-ion battery or charger instructions, specifications, installation manuals, O&M manuals, safety checksheets, etc.
Using a charger other than the lithium-ion battery charger provided by end-product and battery pack manufacturers could increase the risk of fire or explosion. Appropriate protective devices such as protection circuits must be equipped to prevent fire or explosion of lithium-ion batteries or battery packs caused by short-circuiting, overcharging and overheating. Protective devices of lithium-ion batteries and battery packs can prevent short-circuiting, overcharging and overheating that could result in fire or explosion.
When a charger(including, but not limited to, USB port, car cigar jack lighter, tablet, cell phone charger) other than the lithium-ion battery charger provided by end-product and pack manufacturers is used, fire or explosion caused by overcharging (overcurrent, overvoltage) may occur. A heated-up battery caused by overcharging(overcurrent, overvoltage) generates heat, eventually causing fire and explosion.

Lithium-ion batteries must be used with lithium-ion battery packs or systems that are equipped with protective devices.
Disassembling, changing or reassembling of batteries without the permission of Samsung SDI is strictly prohibited, and Samsung SDI shall not be liable for any accident caused by such act.
Monitoring the status of lithium-ion batteries or battery packs during charging is a way to prevent damage caused by fire or explosion due to short-circuiting, overcharging, high temperature, etc.
If the temperature is too high or low, lithium-ion batteries could be damaged.
If the humidity is too high, lithium-ion batteries could be damaged.
For detailed lithium-ion battery operation environment conditions, please refer to the specifications and O&M manuals.
Do not overcharge lithium-ion batteries. Do not charge lithium-ion batteries for long period of time.
The charger can automatically stop charging after a certain period of time. For more information, please refer to the charger manual.
NEVER use lithium-ion batteries, battery modules or battery packs if external damage is present or internal damage is suspected. NEVER damage plastic cover (tubing) of lithium-ion batteries, battery modules or battery packs. NEVER use lithium-ion batteries, battery modules or battery packs if plastic cover (tubing) is damaged. NEVER recycle, reuse or distribute of lithium-ion batteries, battery modules or battery packs that show the above abnormalities, and immediately dispose of them reference to the “Battery Disposal Precautions” section.
Lithium-ion battery cannot provide the same level of protections as lithium-ion battery packs.
It is strictly prohibited to disassemble, change or reassemble the battery without the permission of Samsung SDI, and Samsung SDI is not liable for any accident caused by such act.
Lithium-ion battery cannot provide the same level of protections as lithium-ion battery packs.
It is strictly prohibited to disassemble, change or reassemble the battery without the permission of Samsung SDI, and Samsung SDI is not liable for any accident caused by such act.
Use ONLY lithium-ion batteries specified by end-product and pack manufacturers.
Products with protective devices should be able to automatically shut off the power and prevent overheating, fire, or explosion. Samsung SDI is not aware whether products such as e-cigarettes, battery-powered fans and other devices that are on sale have proper protective devices. E-cigarettes, battery-powered fans and other device manufacturers are not required to have proper protective devices necessary to prevent overcharging, overcurrent, overvoltage, or over-discharging, under the current law, so extra care is needed when handling them. If you have any questions about whether Samsung SDI’s lithium-ion batteries are used for a specific product, contact the store you purchased at or our website below.

See the "Battery Charging Precautions" section.
If lithium-ion batteries in use are combined with new batteries, a fire or explosion may occur.
Do not disassemble or shred lithium-ion batteries.
Do not use lithium-ion batteries manufactured by Samsung SDI with lithium-ion batteries manufactured by other manufacturers, other types of battery (e.g., alkaline, nickel-metal, nickel-cadmium, etc.), or other sizes. A fire or explosion may occur.
Do not charge or use lithium-ion batteries or packs if the voltage is less than 2.5 V/cell.
If usage time of batteries has been significantly reduced, check the voltage of lithium-ion batteries or battery packs before charging.
Please take care of the following to prevent fire.
In general, battery packs should have adequate protective devices.
Lithium-ion batteries themselves do not have the same level of protection as lithium-ion battery modules and packs.
Lithium-ion batteries need adequate protective devices to automatically shut off power, and to prevent overheat, fire or explosion.
If lithium-ion batteries are forcibly discharged, leakage, fire, or explosion may occur.
Removing battery packs from a product does not improve the safety of the battery packs.
Please carry the spare lithium-ion batteries in your carry-on baggage. If there is a problem during flight, the flight crew members can handle it better.
Please follow below precautions to store lithium-ion batteries as appropriate.
Keeping a lithium-ion batteries or battery packs in the device for a long time may cause problems such as leakage.
Check the voltage before charging for use after long-term storage of lithium-ion batteries or battery packs.
NEVER use or charge batteries or battery packs if the voltage is less than 2.5 V/cell.
Check how to dispose of or recycle lithium-ion batteries with the local waste management officer.
For inquires of disposing of lithium-ion batteries or battery packs, contact the store you purchased at.
The used lithium-ion battery can be partially charged. If these batteries are kept with other items, a fire may occur.
If lithium-ion batteries explode in a fire, it can cause serious personal injury, such as chemical burns, and property damages.
