1. Charging
2. Discharging
2.1 Discharging
The cell shall be discharged continuously at less than maximum discharge current
specified in the product specification. In case of the higher discharge current should be
set, it shall be discussed together with SDI.

SAMSUNG SDI Confidential Proprietary
Spec. No. INR21700-50E Version No. 0.2
2.3 Over-discharging
2.3.1 The system should be equipped with a device to prevent further discharging
exceeding discharging cut-off voltage specified in the product specification.
2.3.2 Over-discharging may cause loss of performance, characteristics of battery
function.
2.3.3 Over-discharging may occur by self-discharge if the battery is left for a very long
time without any use.
2.3.4 The charger should be equipped with a device to detect cell voltage and to
determine recharging procedures.
3. Storage
4. Cycle life

5.3 Transportation
5.3.1 If the cell is necessary to be transported to such as the battery manufacturer,
careful precautions should be taken to avoid damage of cell.
6. Others
6.1 Disassembly
6.1.1 The cell should not be dismantled from the battery pack.
6.1.2 Internal short-circuit caused by disassembly may lead to heat generation and/or
venting.
6.1.3 When the electrolyte is coming in contact with the skin or eyes, wash
immediately with fresh water and seek medical advice.
6.2 Short-circuiting
6.2.1 Short-circuit results in very high current which leads to heat generation.
6.2.2 An appropriate circuitry should be employed to protect accidental short-circuiting.
6.3 Incineration
6.3.1 Incinerating and disposing of the cell in fire are strictly prohibited, because it may
cause rupture and explosion.
6.4 Immersion
6.4.1 Soaking the cell in water is strictly prohibited, because it may cause corrosion and
leakage of components to be damaged to functions.
