Lithium Battery Safety
The VC100 comes with specialized high capacity lithium chloride batteries. These batteries require
special care and handling for safe usage, storage and transport or fire or damage to the VC100 may
result. Please read the entire section below before handling the VC100 batteries.
Storage and Handling of Lithium Chloride Batteries
Storage.
Avoiding storing the battery in direct sunlight, or in excessively hot and humid
locations, and store it out of the way of rainwater and other adverse environmental elements.
Always store the batteries with the positive terminal in the up position. Storing the batteries in
the down position reduces the batteries capacity over time.

the down position reduces the batteries capacity over time.
DO NOT SHIP.
Never ship or return the batteries. Special care and legal precautions must be
taken when shipping lithium batteries. Shipping or transporting batteries not in accordance
with federal and state laws and may violate federal and state shipping laws and you may be
fined.

fined.
Bundling.
When bundling the battery with a product, be sure to use cushioning and other
packing to protect the battery (and especially the positive
Never swallow.
Always keep the battery out of the reach of infants and young children to
prevent it from being swallowed. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
Never short-circuit the battery.
Do not allow the positive and negative terminals to short-
circuit. Never carry or store the battery with metal objects such as a necklace or a hairpin. Do
not take multiple batteries out of the package and pile or mix them when storing. Otherwise,
this could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, and explosion of the battery.

this could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, and explosion of the battery.
Never charge or recharge
. The battery is not designed to be charged by any other electrical
source. Charging could generate gas and internal short-circuiting, leading to distortion, leakage,
overheating, explosion, fire, or generation of irritating/corrosive gases.
overheating, explosion, fire, or generation of irritating/corrosive gases.
Never forcibly discharge.
Forcibly discharging by an external power source or other batteries
could cause the voltage to fall below 0V (reversing the poles), generating gas inside the battery
and leading to distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, fire, or generation of
irritating/corrosive gases.
and leading to distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, fire, or generation of
irritating/corrosive gases.
Never heat.
Heating the battery to more than 100 deg. C could increase the internal pressure,
causing distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, fire, or generation of irritating/corrosive
gases.
gases.
Never expose to open flames.
Exposing to flames could cause the lithium metal to melt,
causing the battery to catch on fire and explode.
Never disassemble the battery.
Disassembly could generate the irritating/corrosive gases. In
addition, the lithium metal inside the battery could overheat, leading to catch on fire.
Never apply an excessive force to the positive terminal
. Because the positive terminal is sealed
by a glass, subjecting this area to sudden jolts and excessive force (over 19.6 N) could destroy
the glass seal. This could cause leakage and the generation of irritating/corrosive gases. Never
drop. Dropping the battery could destroy the glass seal leading to leakage and the generation of
irritating/corrosive gases.
