Your safety is important to us! That is why we have developed a concept for you, with the help of which safe handling of lithium-polymer batteries can be guaranteed. At the same time, you will receive tips on how to extend the service life of your battery and exploit its maximum performance.

Therefore, please familiarise yourself with the following safety regulations and instructions. After all, it is about your safety, but also about the safety of your fellow human beings and our environment. The concept is divided into the four areas "Loading", "Operation", "Storage and Transport" and "Environment and Sustainability" and includes safety regulations as well as information on optimising performance.

General information

• Due to the high energy density of the lithium-polymerbattery, there is an increased risk of explosion, fire and injury. 
• Always observe the correct polarity when connecting (plus/minus). 
• Never create a short circuit. 
• Do not subject the battery to mechanical and never open the battery pack or the individual cells. 
• Never expose the battery to high pressure, temperatures above 60°C or microwaves. 
• Never create your own configurations and refrain from soldering individual cells. Never solder or combine cells of different types, capacities or different designs. 
• Check the battery for damage after crashes for damage after crashes or the like.

• If you notice damage or flatulence on the battery pack or individual cells, the battery must be disposed of properly without delay. Observe the information in the chapter "Environment and sustainability". 
• Observe marked danger areas where the use, charging or storage of LiPo batteries and/or lithium cells is prohibited in any case. 
• The specifications and voltage limits refer to lithium-polymer batteries and would have to be adjusted if LiPo HV, Li-Ion, LiFe etc. are used. 
• The nominal voltage of a LiPo cell is 3.7V (LiPo HV 3.8V) and the final charge voltage is 4.2 volts (LiPo HV 4.35V). The voltage of the individual cells must never drop below 3.0V. The LiPo cells are therefore always within a voltage window of 3.0 - 4.2V.

• Before using the battery, check the voltage of the individual cells using a voltage tester to prevent damage. Voltage deviations should not exceed ΔV 30mV. 
• Never discharge your battery below 3.0V/cell during operation, otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion. Calculate your operating time DoD (Depth of Discharge) (=capacity/measured current consumption) and plan a reserve of at least 10-15 %. 

• Make sure that a temperature of 60°C measured on the cell surface is not exceeded after discharge/operation. Optimal is approx. 25°C to 40°C. Check the change to Swaytronic high-performance cells (>60C) if the battery becomes too hot. 
• Extend the EoL (End of Life) of your battery by always leaving at least 20% of the capacity in the battery. For example, for a 2500mAh battery, do not draw more than 2000mAh and remember that the maximum capacity of the battery decreases over time. 

We spare no effort for your safety. That is why we subject our batteries to comprehensive tests. The CE (Conformité Européenne) certification guarantees that the European safety standards are met. Swaytronic batteries meet the international safety standard for lithium ion battery products according to 62133-2:2017. Furthermore, the batteries are tested for their electromagnetic compatibility (EMC/EMI). Namely, they meet the requirements of EN 61000-6-1 and EN 61000-6-3, which examine immunity and emitted interference for residential, commercial and small business applications. Swaytronic batteries also comply with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directives, which regulate and consequently restrict the use and marketing of hazardous substances in electrical equipment and the like.
