②If there is a large amount of dust, metal shavings, or other debris on the upper cover and
pole of the battery pack, clean it with Vacuum cleaner a timely manner to avoid using water or
objects soaked in water for cleaning;
③Try to avoid splashing water or other conductive objects onto the battery cover and pole
during charging and discharging, such as when exposed to heavy rain for use;
④Estimate the charging and discharging time of the battery or battery pack based on its actual
usage status. Pay attention to observing whether there are any abnormalities in the battery or
battery pack at the end of charging and discharging, such as voltage difference issues;
⑤Check whether the conductive strip, voltage collection terminal, and other nodes are loose,
detached, rusted, or deformed, ensuring that the batteries used in series or parallel connection
are fixed and reliable (once/3 months);
