Remark:
1) The initial discharge test shall commence within 30 days of manufacture. During stored period,
the cells shall be stored under 20±2℃, RH 55±20% conditions.
2) Lot release service output test is conducted by 35mA continuous discharging to 5.4volt.
The batteries shall not leak during the service life test before the end voltage reached.
3) The pulse load alone shall be applied across the battery. It is the effective load. It is not added in series
or parallel to the Background load.
4) MAD：minimum average duration-our guarantee discharge value
5) Normal：normal data, it's our normal daily value, batteries discharge value are on this as base to
be upper or lower.
5. ELECTROLYTE LEAKAGE
1 Over discharge leakage test
Test conditions: 20±2℃ & RH 55±20%, 35mA continuous discharge 48h.
Number of test samples: 9 batteries
Requirement: No visible leakage; No explosion.
2 High temperature leakage test

Note 1: Acceptance / rejection in accordance with IE C publication 60086-1 (2021), Sub-clause 5.3.
1) Test eight batteries.
2) Calculate the average without the exclusion of any result.
3) If this average is equal to or greater than the specified figure and no more than one battery has a
service output of less than 80% of the specified figure, the batteries are considered to conform for
service output.
4) If this average is less than the specified figure and/or more than one battery has a service output of
less than 80% of the specified figure, repeat the test on another sample of eight batteries and calculate
the average as previously.
5) If the average of this second test is equal to or greater than the specified figure and no more than one
battery has a service output of less than 80% of the specified figure, the batteries are considered to
conform for service output.
6) If the average of second test is less than the specified figure and/or more than one battery has a
service output of less than 80% of the specified figure, the batteries are considered not to conform and
no further testing is permitted.

7. SECURITY CHARACTERISTICS
1. User Drop Test
This test simulates the situation when a battery is accidentally dropped.
Test conditions: Undischarged test batteries shall be dropped from a height of 1 m onto a concrete
surface. Each test battery shall be dropped six times, once in each face.
The test batteries shall be stored for 1 h afterwards.
Number of test sets: 5 batteries
Requirement: No fire, No explosion.
2. Short circuit explosion proof characteristics
This test simulates an external short circuit of a battery during daily handling of batteries.
Test conditions : Positive and negative terminals of an undischar ged battery shall be connected
directly. The circuit shall be completed for 24 h or until the battery case temperature
has returned to ambient. The resistance of the inter connecting circuitry shall not
exceed 0.1Ω.
Number of test samples : 5 batteries
Requirement : No fire or explosion; Leakage is allowable.
Model No.:GP1604A

Precaution & Handling
1. Do not attempt to take batteries apart or subject them to pressure or impact. Heat may be generated or
fire may result. The alkaline electrolyte is harmful to eyes and skin, and it may damage clothing upon
contact.
2. Keep away from children. If swallowed, contact a physician at once.
3. Do not mix GP batteries with other battery brands or batteries of a different chemistry such as alkaline
and zinc carbon.
4. Do not short circuit batteries, permanent damage to batteries may result.
5. Do not incinerate or mutilate batteries, may burst or release toxic material.
6. Do not solder directly to cells or batteries.
7. Store batteries in a cool dry place.
8. If find any noise, excessive temperature or leakage from a battery, please stop its use.
9. When not using a battery, disconnect it from the device.
10. Do not mix new batteries in use with semi-used batteries.
11. When find battery power down during use, please switch off the device and take batteries out.
12. Never put a battery into water or seawater.
13. Do not recharge batteries.
Storage
1. Store in a cool, dry place before use.
2. Do not keep batteries at temperature above 30°C.
3. Do not keep batteries at relative humidity above 75%.
