Please take a minute to review these lithium-ion battery handling tips and techniques:
- Charge your battery using the USB port located on the back side of the RGB Critter Flashlight.
- Only use the specific USB cable provided with your order. Using any other charger may damage the USB port.
- Do not leave your RGB Critter Flashlight unattended.
- Do not store your lithium-ion batteries fully charged for an extended period (weeks or more).
- If left within the RGB Critter, the 18650 battery will discharge slowly. If stored for more than 2–3 weeks, the battery should be removed from the RGB Critter and stored around the 50% charge level in a cool environment.
- Store your lithium-ion battery in a case or individual box in a cool and dry place.
- Do not expose your RGB Critter Flashlight or battery to heat.
- Do not use any rechargeable battery or charger if any visible damage is present or if known mishandling, accidental or otherwise, has occurred.
- Always store and transport rechargeable cells in a safe, non-conductive container (never keep a spare battery loose in a pocket, purse, etc.; always use protective cases).
- Properly dispose of all battery cells and chargers by local laws and mandates. If you need clarification, contact your local municipality.
- If a lithium-ion battery overheats, hisses, or bulges, immediately quarantine it from any combustible materials—ideally, take the battery outside.
- If a rechargeable battery catches fire, the FAA recommends pouring water or soda on the battery and surrounding areas - ideally, use a foam extinguisher to quell the fire.
