This RS PRO Li-Polymer rechargeable 2.6Ah battery pack is the best way of adding an autonomous and stable power supply to your project that requires mobility and long-lasting energy supply. Compared to NiMh cells these Li-ion battery packs offer twice as much energy with a low self-discharge. Lithium-ion battery packs are thermally stable and highly resistant to the cold. The flat shaped pack provides a much higher specific energy than standard lithium batteries and are typically used in applications where weight may be an issue.

• Pre-wired with bare wire terminals

Lithium Rechargeable batteries are used in electronic devices that require a small, compact source of power. Example applications include:

Lithium-ion batteries can emit many different hazardous gases when overheated or not handled carefully, this can cause strong irritation to the skin, eyes and nasal passages and harm the environment. The batteries contain a flammable electrolyte which can be pressurized if they become damaged or not handled with care.

Avoid keeping the batteries in drawers with metallic objects like paperclips, coins, other batteries or household items such as steel wool, aluminium foil and keys. If these touch, this can be a potential fire hazard. Keep the batteries in their original packaging until ready to use.
