Proper Use and Handling of Lithium Ion Cells
See before using lithium-ion cell
Supplied by
Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.

1. General
This document has been prepared to describe the appropriate cautions and
prohibitions, which the customer should take or employ when the customer uses
and handles the lithium ion cell to be manufactured and supplied by Samsung SDI Co., Ltd., in order to obtain optimum performance and safety.

characteristics. However, the charge timer is recommended to be installed
from a safety consideration, which shuts off further charging at time specified
in the product specification.
2.4 Charging temperature
The cell should be charged within a range of specified temperatures in
the product specification.
