The following caution and warning should appear in manuals and/or instructions for users, especially at the point
of use.

HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
LITHIUM ION RECHARGEABLE CELL
1 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR ELECTRIC CAR, CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK
1.1 Charging
1.1.1 Cell should be charged with constant current-constant voltage method. The charging voltage cannot
above 4.20V/cell and the charging cut-off current is greater or equal to 1/20C. Considering the control
deviation of the charger, the charging voltage must be less than 4.20V. Even under abnormal
conditions, the charging voltage should not above 4.23V to avoid overcharging. The cell cycle life will
be shortened by charging voltage above 4.20V.
1.1.2 Charger should be equipped with a complete charging detection device, which can through the timer,
current or open circuit voltage to detect the charged state of the cell. When it is detected the cell is
fully charged, the charging circuit should be cut off at time. Avoid trickle charging.

1.1.3 The cell should be charged within a temperature range of 0℃~ 45℃ at the specified current. When
the cell temperature exceeds this range, it should be rest until the temperature reaches the above
range before recharging.
1.2 Discharging
1.2.1 Discharge end voltage must be over 2.5V.
1.2.2 Discharge environment temperature range of the cell is -20℃ ~ 60℃ at specified current
(as per 3.7 in the specification). If surface temperature of the cell exceeds 80℃, the
discharge must be stopped .
1.3 Over-discharging
If the voltage is less than 2.5V/cell, the cell is considered to be over-discharged and cannot to be used.
1.4 Storage
The cell should be stored in the following specified range: low humidity (less than 70%RH), no corrosive
gases, no pressure and condensation on the cell, best temperature range is -20℃~20℃, best SOC is
25%-35%, and the voltage should be detected before use.
When stored within 1 month: -20℃ ~ 50℃
When stored within 3 months: -20℃ ~ 40℃
When stored within 12 months: -20℃ ~ 20℃

1.5 Precautions on battery pack design

1.5.1 Battery pack shape, mechanism and material
The battery pack should be designed to ensure that it cannot be charged by an unauthorized charger.
The battery pack should be designed to ensure that it cannot be connected with unauthorized equipment.
The positive and negative terminals of the battery pack should be designed to avoid short circuits or
reverse connection.
The battery pack should have a device with over-current protection function to avoid external short-
circuiting.
The positive and negative connection wires of the battery should no overlap.
The battery pack should be designed with anti-static function and can prevent the intrusion of dust, liquid,
etc.
The battery pack should be designed to ensure that the electrolyte cannot reach the protection circuit
board, even if the battery leaks.
The battery pack should be designed to ensure that the cell is fixed in the battery pack, cannot move.
The structure of the battery pack should be designed to ensure that the dent, deformation and other
mechanical stresses of the battery cannot be caused after the foreseeable fall.
The materials of battery pack such as double-sided tape and rubber should be verified for flammability.
The welding mold should be sealed with glue; if ultrasonic welding is used to seal the welding mold,
Lishen will not bear any responsibility.
1.5.2 Battery pack structure (battery pack limits the number of batteries used)
The number of parallel connections is unlimited, but the battery pack must pass the overcharge test (the
charging current of the overcharge test is the product of the maximum charging current of the charger
and the product of the parallel quantity).
The number of series connections is unlimited and the fuse is required.
The battery should be positioned away from the heating electronic components to avoid the deterioration
of battery performance.
Between the PCBA and the battery pack should be insulated by the insulation material (such as plastic
barrier to provide air isolation or non-conducting thermal insulation material).
1.5.3 Protection Circuit
The following protection circuit should be installed in the battery pack:
Overcharge protection. For safety and in order not to shorten the cycle life, the maximum overcharge
protection voltage for the single cells within each module should be less than 4.23V (including
tolerances).
Over-discharge protection. If the single cell voltage reaches 2.5V, the over-discharge protection should
cut off the discharge current, and the current consumption of the circuit should be set as small as
possible.
Overcurrent protection. If the discharge current of the single cell exceeds about 15A, the overcurrent
protection should cut off the discharge current circuit. To avoid over discharge in long-term storage, the
current consumption of the battery pack protection circuit should be set as small as possible. When it
has not been used for a long time, it is necessary to regularly check the remaining state of power and
ensure that the single cell in the battery pack cannot reach the over-discharge state.

The cell should not be soldered directly with other cells. Namely, the cell should be welded with leads
on its terminal and then be soldered with wire or leads to solder.
1.6 Cell usage

1.6.1 When cells are used in series and parallel connection, they need to use the same gear, the same batch
and the same state of charge. This information can be obtained from the inside and outside box labels.
Before using the cell, the voltage and internal resistance need to be detected and the cells should be
assembled according to its purpose. Lishen recommends that the cell voltage difference is within 10mV
and the internal resistance difference is within 4mΩ at least.
1.6.2 Check the voltage, internal resistance, protection circuit function, thermistor and thermal fuse of the
battery pack before shipment.
1.6.3 During the transfer of the cells to the assembly factory, special attention should be paid to prohibiting
causing damage from external forces during transportation. Lishen recommends that the same
transportation packaging is used during the transfer process, even if there is a process of opening the
package.
1.6.4 Don’t use damaged or leaked cells due to transport damage, drop, short circuit or other reasons.
2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The cell contains flammable substances such as organic solvents. Improper use may present the cell to
generate heat or fire, causing damage of the cell or personal injury. Please pay attention to the use of
prohibited items, while the protection device should be added to avoid cells accident by the abnormal use of
equipment. Before using lithium-ion rechargeable cells, please read the following safety instructions carefully.
In addition, lishen strongly recommends that these instructions are added to the user manual.

2.1 Dangerous matter

2.1.1 Don’t use or store the cell in high temperature environment (above 60℃). Don’t put it into fire, water or
make it moisture. Don’t repair or disassemble cells, there is a risk of causing fire, heat generation,
leakage or explosion.
2.1.2 Don’t place the cell in a chaotic manner, and keep away from conductive materials such as metal to
avoid short-circuit, and don’t reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) poles to use.
2.1.3 Don’t use non-specified charger and violate charging instructions. Charging under non-specified
conditions will cause the cell to overcharge or abnormal chemical reactions, causing heat generation,
smoke, rupture or fire.
2.1.4 Don’t connect the battery to an AC plug (outlet) or a car plug. The battery needs a specific charger. If
the battery is directly connected to the plug, the battery may fire, smoke, explode, or generate heat.
2.1.5 Don’t overcharge, over-discharge, puncture, hammer or step on the cell.
2.1.6 Don’t hit or throw the cell. If the cell falls, please dispose it as a waste product and don’t continue to use
it.
2.1.7 Don’t disassemble the cell. Otherwise, the battery will no longer be protected. The battery may fire,
smoke, explode or generate heat.
2.1.8 Don’t charge near high temperatures. If the battery is charged near a high temperature, the battery
cannot be recharged due to the protection circuit. In this case, the protection circuit may be interrupted,
the battery may fire, smoke, explode or generate heat.
2.1.9 Don’t use obviously damaged or deformed batteries, which may generate heat, smoke, rupture or fire.
