5.2 It is forbidden to put batteries into fire or for long exposure to high temperature
environments exceeding the temperature conditions specified in Articles 2.1.7 and
2.1.8 of this specification, otherwise it may lead to fire. In any normal use
situation, the battery cell temperature cannot exceed 65C. If the battery cell
temperature in the battery exceeds 65C, the battery management system needs to close
the battery and stop the battery operation.
5.3 No short circuit at the positive and negative poles of the battery, otherwise the
strong current and high temperature may cause personal injury or fire. Since the
positive and negative electrodes of the battery are exposed to the plastic
protective covers, sufficient safety protection should be provided to avoid short
circuits when the battery system is assembled and connected.
5.4 Connect the positive and negative electrodes of the battery in strict accordance with
the labels and instructions, and prohibit reverse charging.

5.10 Try to protect the battery from mechanical vibration, collision and pressure impact,
otherwise the battery may be short circuit, produce high temperature and fire.
5.11 Inappropriate charging termination phenomenon may occur during the battery charging
process. For example: beyond the allowable charging time, charging voltage is too
high, charging or charging current is too strong. The above phenomenon is defined
as "inappropriate termination of charging". When the above phenomenon occurs, it
may mean leakage of the battery system or failure of some components. Continuing
charging the battery until the root cause is found and completely solved can cause
overheat or fire. When the above phenomenon occurs, the battery management system
should use the automatic lock function to prohibit the subsequent charging, and
remind the user to return the vehicle loaded with the battery to the dealer for
system maintenance.The battery can only be restored after comprehensive inspection
by certified technicians, the root cause and thoroughly solved and improved.
5.12 The test experiment described in Article 2.5 of this specification may cause
battery fire or explosion. The test experiment can only be performed in
professional laboratories by professionals equipped with appropriate protective
equipment. Otherwise, it may cause serious personal injury and property damage.
