6. Precautions for 18650 Lithium Battery Cells:

6.1. Battery Cell Purchase:

   6.1.1.  Choose brands:  such as Panasonic, Samsung, LG, EVE Energy, etc.; high-quality batteries have longer cycle life;

   6.1.2.  Voltage specification: purchase standard 18650 cells with a nominal voltage of 3.7V;

               Note: Flat Top Rechargeable Battery (Not button top).

   6.1.3.  Capacity recommendation: for frequent power outage scenarios, choose higher capacity batteries;

              common capacities include 3000mAh, 3500mAh, and 3800mAh;

   6.1.4.  Check batches: purchase cells from the same batch or with close manufacturing dates to avoid large differences in internal resistance.

6.2. Battery Cell Usage:

   6.2.1.  To avoid lithium battery failure, keep them away from heat sources and install in a well-ventilated area; when used outdoors, provide a protective cover for the power protection box;

   6.2.2.  If the device will not be used for an extended period, please remove the lithium battery cells from the Smart Power Protection Box;

   6.2.3.  Do not mix new and old battery cells together to avoid inconsistent charging and discharging times.
