APOLLO 1U ICE 
Introduction  
Using the enclosure safely 
Internal battery 
The APOLLO SBC is fitted with a 3V Lithium battery that is used to maintain the 
APOLLO’s real time clock and static RAM while the main supply is removed. The 
battery is fitted in a socket to allow easy replacement. The battery has a service life of 
5 years at +25°C (77°F).  
Anti-static handling 
The APOLLO and other circuit boards fitted inside the APOLLO 1U ICE contain CMOS 
devices. These could be damaged in the event of static electricity being discharged 
through them. At all times, please observe anti-static precautions when handling circuit 
boards. This includes storing boards in appropriate anti-static packaging and wearing a 
suitably earthed wrist strap when handling.  
Packaging 
If the system is returned to Eurotech Ltd, it should be adequately packed, preferably in 
the original packing material. Damage caused in transit may invalidate any warranty 
claim.  
Safe battery use 
 
Lithium batteries that are found to be damaged, leaking, corroded or flat 
(low or no voltage) must be disposed of in a safe manner following the 
relevant COSHH regulations. 
Damaged, leaking, or corroded batteries (especially lithium batteries) must 
only be handled with caution. Use non-conductive tools and wear suitable 
protection, e.g. safety glasses, rubber gloves, etc.  
All faulty batteries must be segregated in a suitable, clearly marked non-
conductive container. They must be periodically disposed of by a recognized 
company specializing in the disposal of poisonous waste, who comply with 
‘The Disposal of Poisonous Waste Regulations Act.’ 
Replace with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 
Do not attempt to recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F), or 
incinerate the Lithium battery.
