Lithium-Ion Batteries
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are used to power billions of devices, including cell phones, tablets, power tools, and now, your beloved trail cameras. This will save you hundreds of dollars on batteries and help the planet in the process.
That being said, lithium-ion batteries are different from AAs and should be handled with care. Lithium-ion batteries can explode or cause a fire if they are misused or mishandled, and as a result, pose a serious risk of personal injury, property damage, or death. Yellowstone.ai sources lithium-ion batteries that are built to withstand extreme temperatures and also have over-charge, over-discharge and short circuit protection. Despite this, it’s essential to follow the guidelines below:
​
•Do not remove the batteries from the battery pack
•Charge and use your battery packs only as directed
•Be careful not to modify, disassemble, puncture, crush, or incinerate your battery packs
•Do not discard your batteries in your household garbage. Instead, check your local regulations or click here to find proper disposal procedures
•When not in use, eject the battery packs from the camera and store them at room temperature in a dry, well-ventilated area. When storing for more than two months, be sure that they are approximately half charged (medium / yellow LED indicator). Battery packs in long-term storage should receive a refresh charge every three months.
•Review airline and TSA requirements prior to flying with your battery packs
•Do not expose your battery packs to temperatures above 185°F or below -40°F. Your battery packs will charge slowly between 0-32°F and will not charge at all below 0°F.
•Do not short-circuit your battery packs or batteries
•Do not use if batteries or battery packs are damaged or bulging
•Avoid excessive physical shock or vibration
•Do not submerge in liquids
•When charging via a wall outlet, the temperature must remain between 32-110°F. Do not leave the battery pack charging from a wall outlet for more than 24 consecutive hours.
•Charging current: cannot exceed 2500mA
•Battery charging voltage: cannot exceed 8.4V
•Discharge current: not more than 5000mA
•The positive and negative terminals of the batteries should not be reversed
•You, the customer, are responsible for any injury or damage caused by improper usage of your batteries/ battery packs and charger. Usage of lithium ion batteries is at your own risk.
WARNING: Lithium-ion batteries and products that contain lithium-ion batteries can expose you to chemicals including cobalt lithium nickel oxide, and nickel, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
