  • Ensure sufficient airflow around the battery.
  • Do not place objects on top of the battery or cover the ventilation areas.
  • Avoid installing or storing the battery in areas with standing water or prolonged direct sunlight exposure.

A clean and well-ventilated environment helps maintain charging and discharging efficiency.

 

2. Protect the Battery from Extreme Conditions

For safe and reliable operation:

  • Keep the battery away from heat sources and flammable materials.
  • Avoid exposure to flooding, excessive moisture, or harsh environmental conditions.
