Supplied by
Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.

1.0. General

This document has been prepared to describe the appropriate cautions and
prohibitions, which the customer should take or employ when the customer uses

2.1 Charging current

Charging current shall be less than maximum charge current specified in the product
specification.

2.2 Charging voltage

Charging shall be done by voltage less than that specified in the product specification.

2.3 Charging time

Continuous charging under specified voltage does not cause any loss of performance
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 shall be charged within a range of specified temperatures in the specification.

2.5 Reverse charging

The cell shall be connected, confirming that its poles are correctly aligned.
